EDGEWATER — Nearly two months after 31 people were arrested after a late-night standoff with SWAT teams at the Edgewater home of slain rapper Shaquon Thomas, aka Young Pappy, 10 people have been charged in Cook County Circuit Court with disorderly conduct or breach of the peace and sentenced to either court supervision or released for time they already served, according to Ald. Harry Osterman (48th).
An additional 18 defendants were given an Aug. 12 court date for sentencing, Osterman said.
Those given court supervision were told not to return to the property at 6319 N. Lakewood Ave., where on May 9 Thomas threw a mix-tape release party on the second story of the single family home where his father lived that ended in a confrontation with police and detainment of party guests.
On May 29, Thomas was killed in the 4600 of N. Kenmore Ave. in Uptown.
According to the city, the property where the party was held went into foreclosure in September 2014. Clerical issues regarding ownership have slowed the vacating process, according to a representative of Reverse Mortgage Solutions, which had been working to prove it held the deed to the house. The home was inspected by the city in October 2014 and failed to pass.
"We just want to get back to normal life on that street," Marko Zaric, Osterman's assistant, said before Assistant Judge Pamela Hughes Gillespie during a hearing on the property earlier this month.
On June 12, the couny clerk's office recorded Reverse Mortgage Solutions as the owner of the property, a critical step needed for the city to move forward on its plans to vacate and take over the home.
