A Chicago man accused of murder who beat his case when prosecutors couldn't give him a speedy trial was killed after leaving Cook County Jail on Monday night, according to authorities.
Kamari Belmont, 23, was being held on separate murder and robbery cases stemming from a single night in 2015 in which he was accused of shooting one man during a robbery who later died and robbing another man a couple of hours later.
Cook County prosecutors in January dropped murder charges against Belmont and his co-defendant, Terrance Hogan, 23, after allowing too much time to elapse under the states speedy trial statute without bringing the case to trial, according to court records and Belmonts attorney. Bail on Belmonts robbery case was set at $100,000 the same day charges were dropped.
At 5:30 p.m. Monday, a friend of Belmonts posted $10,000 bond. Belmont was released at 11:12 p.m.
Someone pulled alongside him in a white SUV on California Avenue a couple of blocks south of Cook County Jail on Monday night before midnight and started shooting. Belmont was shot multiple times.
The white SUV crashed, and those inside fled, according to police. Belmont collapsed in the street trying to flee and died at the scene. (snip)
Belmont's attorney (snip) said he didnt believe Belmonts killing was street justice.

The cost of those tats could have gotten him better med coverage.
Things don’t seem to working out too well for urban African Americans.
“Belmont’s attorney (snip) said he didnt believe Belmonts killing was street justice”
Oh sure, that sort of thing happens all the time, at random.
I think the attorney said that so he will not open a can of worms and have something similar happening to him.
That’s a shame.
SUV-ma.................
Kamari = I KARMA....................

More like sweet justice.
Al Capone’s goons?
So actually he didn’t!
Darwin more efficient than justice system.
The lawyer said he’s known the family of the victim for over two decades. A pretty good guess that the family considers Cook County jail a second home and this lawyer has been a busy man representing them in court.
Seems to me that the Cook County prosecutors are a big part of the problem if they let this happen.
When they have an opportunity to remove murdering scumbags from the streets and flub it by not doing their job in a timely manner they aren't doing the job they are paid to do and are further endangering the lives of innocent people.

I bet that bail posted was from that someone who wanted him dead.
