Three charged with murder of 85-year-old Belleville woman

EAST ST. LOUIS ”�¢ Three people were charged with first-degree murder on Sunday in the killing of an 85-year-old woman whose body was found in the trunk of her burned car.

Charged were Daquan D. Barnes, 20, of the 2400 block of Logan Avenue in Granite City; his cousin Demarcus D. Barnes, 29, of the 500 block of North Douglas Avenue in Belleville; and Latosha A. Cunningham, 38, of the 1400 block of Radiance Drive in Belleville. Each was being held in lieu of $3 million bail.

Police say the three apparently acted on the spur of the moment, grabbing Yoko Cullen of Belleville as she left a bingo game Wednesday night in Collinsville.

"It was a crime of opportunity. She was carjacked and taken to East St. Louis, where she was murdered," O'Fallon, Ill., police Capt. Jeff Wild said.

Wild commanded the Major Case Squad team that made the arrests and obtained charges against the three suspects.

The remains of Cullen were found Friday in East St. Louis.

A vehicle and suspect descriptions were distributed to police, and an officer spotted the 2006 white Dodge Charger near Cunningham's house.

Detectives said they arrested the three based on unspecified information received during intensive interviews with the three and other witnesses.

Wild said evidence indicated that the crime had not been planned.

Wild said Cullen was carjacked from the parking lot as she was leaving the Firemen's Hall on Collinsville Road.

Her car was found burned two days later near the intersection of 11th Street and Falling Springs Road in East St. Louis. Her body was in the trunk.

"This one was tough for us — as they all are," Wild said. "But an 85-year-old victim makes it tougher."

Wild declined to say whether anything had been stolen from Cullen or whether any weapons had been found. He also declined to say what evidence led to the arrests.

No previous connection has been found between Cullen or any of the suspects, Wild said. He said she may have been chosen just as an easy target for abduction.

He would not discuss the exact cause or manner of Cullen's death.

Investigators: Fire killed Belleville woman, 85, after carjacking

EDWARDSVILLE Ӣ An 85-year-old Belleville woman was alive in the trunk of her car when it was destroyed by fire in East St. Louis in May, a coroner's jury was told on Wednesday.

Three people have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Yoko Cullen, who apparently was the victim of a carjacking as she left a bingo hall in Collinsville. The car was found burned near the intersection of 11th Street and Falling Springs Road in East St. Louis.

Cullen's remains were found in the trunk after the car had been towed to Andy's Auto Body and Towing in the city of Madison. That's why the inquest was held in Madison County even though the criminal charges are being prosecuted in St. Clair County.

Shane Liley, a Madison County coroner's investigator, testified that Cullen's body was almost entirely consumed by the fire but said part of her trachea was found and the inside of it was coated with soot.

"It indicated to us that she was breathing when the fire started," Liley said.

Pathologist Raj Nanduri found no evidence of other injuries, Roger Smith, the chief deputy coroner, told the jury, which later ruled the death a homicide.

Charged with Cullen's murder are Daquan D. Barnes, 18, of Granite City; his cousin Demarcus D. Barnes, 28, of Belleville; and Latosha A. Cunningham, 37, of Belleville.

East St. Louis police Detective Orlando Ward told a reporter after the inquest that investigators believe Cunningham and Cullen were acquainted as neighbors and that both frequently played bingo at the Firemen's Hall on Collinsville Road.

Ward said the suspects apparently thought Cullen had a substantial amount of money with her but were mistaken as she had only a small amount of money.

Metro-East man pleads guilty to burning grandmother alive
Posted on September 4, 2013 at 7:36 AM

BELLEVILLE, Ill. -- A suspect in the carjacking and killing of an 85-year-old grandmother has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder charges.

The Belleville News-Democrat reports under an agreement with St. Clair County prosecutors, DaQuan Barnes will receive a 60-year prison sentence instead of natural life in prison. He will be sentenced Oct. 30.

The 21-year-old Barnes, 39-year-old LaTosha Cunningham and 30-year-old DeMarcus Barnes, all of Belleville, were charged in the May 2011 death of Yoko Cullen.

Authorities allege the suspects staked out Cullen outside a Collinsville bingo hall where one of them knew she played, then stopped her from driving away. Authorities say Cullen was forced into her trunk and driven to East St. Louis, where her car was set on fire.

Investigators said Cullen was alive when the vehicle was burned.

Posted on December 10, 2013 at 4:52 PM

Cunningham was given the maximum sentence of 60 years and prison. Because of the murder conviction, she will have to serve the whole time without parole.

DeQuan Barnes pleaded guilty to Cullen’s murder in Sept. He was also sentenced to 60 years behind bars.

A third suspect, 30-year-old DeMarcus Barnes, was also charged in the crime but was later found to be mentally unfit to stand trial. A judge is set to reveiw his mental status at a later date.

The prosecutor called the ruling “the final chapter” in the brutal murder of a Belleville woman who was burned alive during an attempt to steal her bingo winnings.

St. Clair County Circuit Judge Robert Haida on Monday found Demarcus Barnes, 35, remains mentally unfit to stand trial and was an ongoing threat to the public.

Haida ordered Barnes committed to a secure mental health treatment facility until he was well enough to face the murder charges or 80 years, whichever comes first.

Barnes and his co-defendants Dequan Barnes, 26, and Latosha Cunningham, 44, were accused of stopping 85-year-old grandmother Yoko Cullen as she left the Collinsville Fireman’s Hall after bingo, abducted, robbed and burned Cullen alive in the trunk of her own car.

Dequan Barnes, 26, and Cunningham, 44, are each serving 60-year prison sentences for Cullen’s murder. Daquan Barnes Daquan Barnes Latosha Cunningham Latosha Cunningham

“This is essentially the final chapter in this horrific story,” St. Clair County State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly said. “Yoko Cullen’s family has fought hard and long for her. These three defendants cannot be near the public ever again.”

As part of Haida’s order, the Illinois Department of Human Services must keep Demarcus Barnes in a secure setting, provide treatment plans and reports to the court.

According to evidence, the three defendants stopped Cullen on May 18, 2011, as she left the Fireman’s Hall, then forced her into her own trunk, then drover her car to a remote location near Russell Avenue and Falling Springs Road in East St. Louis. Cunningham told the men that Cullen had seen her license plate number before being put in the trunk so she had to be killed, according to police. The three defendants split money found in Cullen’s purse. Each got $130. In a statement, Daquan Barnes said he, Cunningham and his uncle, Demarcus Barnes, planned Cullen’s murder, each striking Cullen with tire irons in an attempt to get Cullen to reveal the PIN for her ATM card. The three left Cullen locked in her trunk and went to a gas station where they bought fuel to set Cullen’s car ablaze. A coroner’s inquest revealed Cullen was alive when the car was set on fire.
