EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (AP) — The Madison County coroner's jury and the county grand jury can't seem to agree on a 24-year-old Granite City man's shooting death.
Print this storyOn Wednesday, the coroner's jury declared the death of Chaunci Dukes a homicide, but a suspect has been charged only with aggravated unlawful use of weapons because the grand jury considers it a case of self-defense. Dukes was shot to death on Sept. 5 in Venice. The suspect is 24-year-old Diron Pinnix, who has several addresses that connect him to Venice, Alton and St. Louis. Pinnix was originally charged with first-degree murder, and was held without bail. But when the case went to the grand jury, they determined there was not enough evidence to charge Pinnix with first-degree murder. |
