Two Violent Carjackings in Chicago Lead to 18-Year Federal Prison Sentence​

CHICAGO — A man has been sentenced to more than 18 years in federal prison for violently carjacking two vehicles in Chicago.
KASHIF DUKES, 29, of Chicago, took the vehicles at gunpoint in 2017 and 2018. In the first carjacking, Dukes took a Mercedes-Benz sedan in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood on Sept. 10, 2017. Dukes pressed a gun to the driver’s chest and said words to the effect of, “get the [expletive] out the car or I’m going to shoot the [expletive] out of you.” Dukes then took the driver’s cellphones, cash, and wallet and sped off in the Mercedes. The second carjacking occurred on July 21, 2018, in the Little Italy neighborhood on Chicago’s Near West Side when Dukes and accomplices took a Chevy Equinox from a woman and her two children and granddaughter. The family was dropping off food at a friend’s house for a barbecue that evening. The carjackers brandished firearms and shouted at the women to “get the [expletive] out of the car” and to “get the baby and get the [expletive] out.”
Dukes pleaded guilty to the first carjacking and was convicted by a jury in 2021 of the second carjacking. The jury also convicted Dukes of federal firearm charges. U.S. District Judge Jorge L. Alonso on Tuesday imposed a sentence of 18 years and three months in federal prison. (NO PAROLE)
The sentence was announced by Morris Pasqual, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, Christopher Amon, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Field Division of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and Larry Snelling, Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department.
“Defendant traumatized the victims and placed them in fear of their lives,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jasmina Vajzovic argued in the government’s sentencing memorandum. “The community as a whole – victims, witnesses, society, and perpetrators – needs to know that the federal system takes the crime of carjacking seriously and will justly punish those who choose to spend their time terrorizing others.”

Chicago man gets 18 years in federal prison for 2 carjackings, including one linked to a mass shooting​

CHICAGO — A Chicago man has been sentenced to just over 18 years in federal prison for carjacking two vehicles in 2017 and 2018, including one that officials say he and his accomplices used to carry out a mass shooting on the West Side.

Kashif Dukes, 29, pleaded guilty to the first carjacking and was found guilty by a jury in the second case. In court filings, federal prosecutors linked him to four other violent carjackings in the city, although they did not pursue charges in those cases.

The first carjacking occurred on the afternoon of September 10, 2017, in the 4000 block of South Indiana. Duke’s pressed a gun to a driver’s chest and ordered him out of a Mercedes E430, officials said.

“Get the f*** out the car or I’m going to shoot the s*** out of you,” Dukes threatened, according to the feds. He took cash, a wallet, and phones, then drove away with the Mercedes.

Police recovered the car three days later after it crashed into four other vehicles. Officials said Dukes’ fingerprints were on one of its windows, and his phone was found on the car’s passenger seat.
