These two fine gentlemen......were on parole.....and used an illegal gun to do a car jacking...one released less than a week before the robbery....
Two charged with West Loop armed carjacking, including one released from prison less than a week ago (for carjacking)
Two parolees are in custody, charged with pulling off an armed carjacking in the West Loop over the weekend. One of them was released from prison on another armed carjacking charge last Wednesday. The other is on parole for his fourth stolen motor vehicle case.
Around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, two carjackers pulled out a handgun and demanded a 24-year-old man’s valuables and vehicle on the 300 block of North Loomis, police said.

Incredibly, Brown was released from prison last week after serving half of a 13-year sentence that he received for a 2012 carjacking in south suburban Harvey, according to court records.
And Walton was released from prison on Aug. 22 after he served half of a six-year sentence for his fourth stolen motor vehicle conviction.
According to court records, Walton was arrested by Illinois State Police in May 2016 after a trooper caught him speeding down the Kennedy Expressway in a stolen orange taxi cab.
Walton previously received three concurrent eight-year sentences for possessing a stolen motor vehicle, possessing a handgun in a motor vehicle, and impersonating police in 2012. He also received three-year sentences for possessing stolen motor vehicles in 2008 and 2007.
