A DuPage County judge ordered Chance Jamerson held on attempted armed-robbery charges in the Oakbrook Center shooting.

A detention order is a custody ruling. It is not a conviction. Prosecutors say Jamerson set up a robbery of people who brought about $2,000 to buy Swatch watches, and that Hill was shot with his own gun during a struggle. Berlin said Illinois law treats that shooting as justified force against a forcible felony. That is the state's position. A jury has not heard the case.

The state's attorney's office said Oak Brook officers were called at about 12:09 p.m. on Sept. 30, 2026, to shots fired in the parking lot outside the mall. They found Justin Hill with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Jamerson was also shot and was taken to a hospital. The office alleged that a driver of a black Mercedes had arranged with Jamerson and two other people to buy four limited Swatch watches, about $448 each, and had brought $2,000. At about 12:01 p.m. the Mercedes, with Jamerson in the back driver's-side seat, pulled into a stall. A white Nissan Rogue driven by Hill pulled in behind it and blocked it. Hill got out, opened a door, pointed a gun, and demanded everything, prosecutors alleged.

The Daily Herald reported that Berlin said no one will be charged in Hill's death because the man who fired used the gun Hill brought and was acting in justified self-defense. FOX 32, citing investigators, reported that the Mercedes driver struggled with Hill for the gun, that Jamerson joined the struggle from the back seat, and that the driver then fired, striking both Hill and Jamerson. Prosecutors say Jamerson had been texting Hill the group's location and telling him to box the car in. CBS Chicago reported the judge cited the danger he believed she posed and denied pretrial release. Her next date was described as later this month.

Three attempted-armed-robbery counts are the charges she has to answer. The decision not to charge the driver is the prosecutor's call about that shooting. It is not a finding that the robbery plan is proved. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
