Robbery Seen As Motive In Central Illinois Murder

Prosecutors in LaSalle County say three people from the Chicago area drove to Streator to steal, but ended up killing a mom of three instead.  The LaSalle County State's Attorney's Office yesterday charged 24-year-old Hashim Waite, 21-year-old Ashanti Roberts, and 16-year-old Tamil Adams with murder for Tuesday night's killing of a mother of three.  Investigators say Waite, Roberts, and Adams came down to Streator on a mission to rob 33-year-old Maria Dellatorre's house.  Police say she walked in during the robbery, and was killed.
