A man who allegedly opened fire with an AK-47 in the killing of 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams at a West Side McDonald’s drive-thru in April was arrested by the FBI this week after a three-month manhunt, according to a federal court filing Tuesday.
Devontay Anderson, 21, was arrested by the FBI in Chicago on Monday on federal charges of unlawfully fleeing to avoid prosecution for Jaslyn’s killing, FBI Supervisory Special Agent David Habich wrote in the filing, asking a federal judge to dismiss the complaint filed in U.S. District Court on April 29.
An arrest warrant charging Anderson with first-degree murder was issued in Cook County Criminal Court on April 26, records show. A spokesperson for State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office was not immediately available for comment.
The FBI had offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to Anderson’s capture and conviction.
Anderson was one of three men believed to be involved in the April 18 attack at the McDonald’s at 3200 W. Roosevelt Road that left Jaslyn dead and her father seriously wounded, according to the federal complaint. Two others, Marion Lewis, 18, and Demond Goudy, 21, were previously arrested on murder charges and have been ordered held without bond, records show.
After Anderson was identified as one of the alleged gunmen, Chicago police obtained a warrant to track the GPS information on a Facebook profile he was associated with, according to the complaint. Beginning on April 26, “pings” from the Facebook account placed whoever was using it in the area of Miami, Florida, the complaint stated.
Jaslyn’s slaying in broad daylight shocked West Side residents, and led to vigils and calls to curb gun violence that has long plagued the city.
According to the federal charges, the girl was in the back seat of an Infiniti sedan being driven by her father when surveillance video showed a 2017 Audi S8 pull up to them in the drive-thru and two adult males exit.
One man, later identified as Anderson, got out of the rear passenger side of the Audi brandishing a Draco AK-47 pistol, while the other male exited from the front passenger seat holding a Glock pistol, according to the complaint. Both gunmen opened fire on the Infiniti, firing dozens of rounds before reentering the Audi and leaving the scene.
Cook County prosecutors have said in court that police found a total of 47 casings from two guns at the scene.
Lewis was arrested two days after the murder after he fled from police and then tried to carjack a family with two young children on the Eisenhower Expressway before he was shot and wounded by Chicago police officers, according to prosecutors.
Goudy, who was out on bond on four separate felonies at the time of the slaying, was arrested about a week after Lewis.

Devontay, a great product of the welfare system and such a great photo of Devontay. The cream of the crop, the crop of evil!
Another George Floyd in the making who adds a whole new meaning of the words “Big Mac Attack” but instead of indigestion, your 7 year old kids get a socially re-engineered bullet in the head.
With the # of kids who’ve been shot JUST THIS YEAR alone, the left certainly is showing they don’t REALLY CARE about “The children”..
Stick in him a massive wood chipper..
Who breeds these sons of inhumanity? Let me guess, a single mom, raised by a single mom, impregnated at a young age with no father figure to instruct him.? The first crime was in naming him Devontay, which perhaps was like the Johnny cash Song about a boy named Sue that was supposed to make him a tuff fighter and strong enough to survive the insults in a bad neighborhood. Be careful what you name you kids, because those flipping through job resume’s just throw names like Devontay into the trash,,,,just like what their single mothers manage to accomplish with the lives of their unsupervised sons who should have been on a job working instead of allowing his idle hands to become the Democrat devised Devil’s workshop
More than likely, yep. He’s the product of our wondrous awesome welfare system…
“Goudy, who was out on bond on four separate felonies at the time of the slaying…….”
This just might be a part of the problem. THE JUDGE!
No just the judge, but the DA who pushed for bail each and every time..
THAT IS WHY I keep saying, EVERY TIME A CROOK who these idiot judges, let out on bond, REOFFEND, THOSE JUDGES (And da’s) NEED TO BE HELD CRIMINALLY Liable as an accessory!
