Devante Boyd, a 30-year-old man from Danville, Illinois, has been sentenced to 12 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for his role in an armed robbery that took place in August 2022. Boyd pleaded guilty to the charge, which stemmed from an incident where he and an accomplice threatened a convenience store employee with a shotgun and stole over $300 in cash along with cigarettes and cigars.
Key evidence in the case includes DNA found on clothing discarded near the crime scene, which matched Boyd’s DNA.

The second suspect in the robbery has yet to be identified, raising further questions about the incident.
