Last month marked the one-year anniversary of the shootout at Doubles Bar in the city’s west side that killed one person and wounded seven others. The shooting sparked retaliation violence on the afternoon of Aug. 3, 2016, that killed two people.
According to prosecutors, Michael Grevious II, one of the men involved in the Doubles shootout, hired Zachary Harris to kill Orlando Gilbert for $5,000.
Then on that afternoon in August 2016, a Chevrolet pickup truck driven by Gibby pulled up next to a black Ford Mustang occupied by Gilbert and Todd Berus. Tony Patete, the front seat passenger of the truck, opened fire with an AK-47 multiple times, killing Gilbert and Berus, according to court documents.
