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 state’s speedy trial statute without bringing the case to trial, according to court records and Belmont’s attorney. Bail on Belmont’s robbery case was set at $100,000 the same day charges were dropped.
At 5:30 p.m. Monday, a friend of Belmont’s 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 didn’t believe Belmont’s killing was street justice.

Way it’s supposed to work — right?
If Whitey’s law don’ fix it, the ‘hood takes care of business...
Oh well...If Obama had a son.
So! He was shot by a music fan?
“Instant Karma gonna get you,knock you right in the head.”
Or maybe a few well placed bullets.
He went right from Cook County jail to Cook County morgue with no stopover at Cook County hospital. Seems like he saved Chicago taxpayers some money. How very thoughtful of him...or whoever shot him.
That, or he was part of the setup.
It could have been a shooting by music critic. As happens frquently when such a gentleman is killed we find out he was turning his life around, loved his kids, and was aspiring to become a rapper.
Yes, and aspiring rappers are dropping like flies!
