Two men sentenced for murdering driver on Stevenson Expressway while out on pretrial release

Two men who killed a 60-year-old man in an expressway shooting nearly four years ago while they were both on pretrial release for felony gun cases have pleaded guilty. Joshua Concepcion, 22, and Alexis Perez, 20, were sentenced to 15 years and 12 years, respectively, according to court records.

Around 4:19 a.m. on November 18, 2021, Federico Bautista was driving to work in McKinley Park when Perez, driving a stolen Jeep in the opposite direction on Damen Avenue, saw him and popped a U-turn, prosecutors said.

Perez allegedly followed Bautista onto the Stevenson Expressway and pulled up alongside Bautista’s car as the vehicles traveled inbound near Loomis Boulevard. According to prosecutors, Concepcion fired 14 rounds from the back passenger seat of Perez’s stolen Jeep, striking Bautista in the shoulder and twice in the abdomen.

Bautista’s car came to a stop on the shoulder and remained there for 90 minutes until a passerby noticed it had been struck by gunfire and called police.

Shortly after the shooting, Concepcion met up with two other people and showed them a handgun, bragging that he had just shot someone on the expressway, according to prosecutors.

Concepcion allegedly asked Perez if he “handled” getting rid of the Jeep, and Perez replied that it was in his garage. Concepcion responded that he would “f*** up” Perez if Concepcion got charged with the murder simply because Perez wanted to hold onto a stolen car.

This occurred in Chicago, Illinois where Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker decry President Trump's efforts to clean up an urban combat zone.

In all likelihood, the victim may have been murdered so a gang member wannabe could be initiated by committing a random killing. Perhaps, they needed to pay for more facial tattoos.

According to the article:

With good behavior, they will be released after serving half of their prison terms.

Both men have now pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in exchange for their sentences

Conspiracy??? Pled down from actual murder, which is what took place. What would the sentence for that be, one might wonder.

Drug money buys a lot in Chicago, including judges.

So an innocent white man’s life is only worth 15 and 12 years respectively for the two thugs who killed him. No wonder there’s so much crime these days, there’s no equal justice that fits the magnitude of the crimes. We need a slough of vigilantes across this country to pick up the slack in our failed court system. Just saying.

IIRC correctly the Bible approves the seeking of their blood.

The Greek word for “Mark” (Revelation 13:16)
of the “Mark of the Beast” is “charagma”

Any doubt as to whether these types of
people with Facial Tattoos will take a
Tattoo to the Forehead or their Right Hand?


Revelation 13:16
New King James Version

16 He causes all, both small and great,
rich and poor, free and slave,
to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+13%3A16&version=NKJV

The KJV uses “in”

Many other translations use “on”

It’s a form of “epi....”

The “Mark” is the Greek word “charagma” - a stamp of ownership; a tattoo

“epi” - as in “epidermis”
