15-Year Old Shitavious Cook And Three Others Charged With Murder

[TheMorningStar]

Three suspects who were arrested last week in connection with the shooting death of 24-year-old Billy J. Rutherford were each charged Thursday with three counts of first-degree murder. Documents released by the Macon County State's Attorney's Office after the filings revealed details of the homicide, including possible motives.

Shitavious J. Cook, 15, was arraigned Thursday morning on his charges, punishable by up to life imprisonment.

He also was charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm for a shotgun attack on a motorcyclist who Cook mistakenly believed to be Rutherford.
Felton T. Estes, 28, and Demeco D. Hill, 35, are each facing 20 to 60 years in prison, with a 15-year enhancement for carrying a firearm during the crime. Estes and Hill are due in Macon County Circuit Court this morning for their arraignments.

On his first-degree murder charges, Cook is facing 20 to 60 years plus 25 years to life for shooting a firearm that was the proximate cause of death. If it can be proved that an individual personally fired a firearm that is a cause of a death, the larger enhancement of 25 to life is filed.
Cook allegedly admitted to police that he shot Rutherford with a shotgun.
According to Illinois law, defendants who are 15 and older are automatically tried as adults when charged with first-degree murder or any charges arising out of the same incident.

The parents of that kid doomed him from the start.
No wonder he is a violent kid, his name is Shitavious.
His parents obviously have some kind of resentment toward him.

Is anyone actually suprised that a kid named Shitavious is a little homicidal? Really?



PS Googling Shitavious is almost amusing.. In a 'slow day' kind of way.

LOL. My mom once described labor to me and my little brother as feeling like the two biggest bowel movements she ever had in her life. My brother said, "So we're a couple of turds? Thanks, Mom."

That said, if my name was Shitavious I'd probably go homicidal too.

"Your Honor, I want to change my name."

"What is your name, boy?"

"Shitavious J. Cook, your Honor."

"Dayum, boy, I don't blame you, what do you want to change it to?"

"Smith, or Jones, anything but Cook, I hate that name!"

What's in a name?......

At 8:11 p.m. Aug. 29, Decatur police officers were sent to the alley adjacent to 1317 N. Woodford St. on reports of gunshots fired and an injured man on the ground. An officer found "Rutherford's deceased body lying in the alley" with "at least one defect in the face/head." Rutherford was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:20 p.m.
According to statements made to the police, Rutherford was shot because he "had been stealing drug-related money from Estes, and Rutherford had made threats against Cook's life," according to a complaint for an arrest warrant. The warrant request was approved by a judge the morning of Aug. 31; Estes and Hill were apprehended that night.
Police were told by Cook that shortly before the shooting, Estes and Hill were sitting in Hill's blue-and-silver truck, parked in the driveway of 1317 N. Woodford St. Hill was in possession of a black 9 mm Beretta pistol.
Estes and Hill made statements about harming Rutherford prior to his death, and all three knew Rutherford was on his way to 1317 N. Woodford St., according to the document.
When Rutherford arrived, he walked from the front of the house to the alley while he talked on a phone. Police were told Hill and Estes followed Rutherford toward the alley, with Hill in the lead. Multiple gunshots were heard, with the sounds apparently originating in the alley.
During an interview with police, Cook said he went to the alley after hearing the gunshots. He saw Rutherford lying on the ground, with Estes near his body. Hill was not in sight.
Cook told police that Estes then gave him a shotgun and told him to shoot Rutherford. Cook then fired one round at Rutherford.

Police were told Hill fired the initial gunshots in the alley.
Cook told police during his interview that they could find spent 9 mm casings at the scene. The police had already located three 9 mm casings, a detail they had not released.

Cook, who was arrested 23½ hours after the shooting, admitted to police that he shot Rutherford with a shotgun but said he did so after Rutherford was dead, according to a sworn statement by a police officer.

During a search of Cook's home, officers recovered a double-barreled shotgun that contained one spent casing and one live round.

Cook's charges of attempted murder and aggravated battery stem from an incident that occurred five days before the homicide.

At 11:54 p.m. Aug. 24, a 31-year-old man was shot while riding his motorcycle east on Grand Avenue, at Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The victim told police he heard that a 15-year-old male, nicknamed "Tay," was the shooter.
Cook, whose nickname is "Tay," admitted he shot a shotgun at a man who was riding a black-and-yellow motorcycle at Grand Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. The victim suffered injuries to his right leg and side.
Cook said the intended target of that shooting was Rutherford, who he said had made threats against his life.
The attempted murder charge, a Class X felony, is punishable by six to 30 years, plus 25 years to life. The aggravated battery with a firearm charge carries a six- to 30-year sentence.
Cook, who has a residential burglary case pending in juvenile court, is scheduled to appear for his preliminary hearing in Macon County Circuit Court on Sept. 21. He is being held on a $5 million bond in a nearby juvenile detention facility.

aristocratic latin name from the hood

actually Shitavious was a Greek god. The god of turds, brother of Pissena.

[TearCollector]

I wish I could say this is the 1st time I've heard this name. It's not.
What were the parents thinking?? Or what do some of them think w/some of the names I've read.
You know this kid got picked on. Kids get picked on less.
If the parents didn't give a shit (or in this case they did)about the repercussions the name would bring, then how did they not know their kid is a drug dealing thug?

[evervigilant]

I have some figurines called "The Turds", there's Predaturd, Lord of the Rims, Dr Poo and my favourite is called Tough Shit. He's wearing a string vest and holding a baseball bat, can't get him with the vest anymore, they've changed the design. There are loads of them to collect, I'm running out of space for all my shit lol. Shitavious would probably be wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Shitavious and Pissena also appeared in "The Clash of The Titans' the crappy remake, not the original classic.
