According to a criminal complaint, police were patrolling near Sherman and Hampton on the night of October 7. They spotted a black Infiniti with no license plate and attempted to stop it at Sherman and Eggert, but the driver took off.

The chase traveled about 15 miles at speeds up to 80 mph, mostly through residential streets, prosecutors said. The car passed several stop signs and red lights along the way.

It took stop sticks to end the chase, according to the complaint. The Infiniti lost control, ended up in a dead end and eventually parked in a driveway near 55th and Casper, just south of Green Tree Road. A police officer saw the driver – later identified as Lipsey – throw something out of the car’s open window. This item, a handgun, was recovered.

Prosecutors said Bellamy was the front passenger and officers found a gun in his pants – which was not visible until he was ordered out of the car. Morris, the rear passenger, also had a gun in his waistband. Neither man had a concealed carry permit, according to the complaint.

The complaint says the Infiniti was reported stolen in Chicago on September 25. A search of the car revealed suspected THC with an estimated value of more than $2,000. There were also two digital scales and money scattered everywhere.

Additionally, prosecutors said the fleeing car slowed down during the chase and a passenger got out of the back seat. This person was taken into custody but is not charged in this case.
