As part of an agreement with prosecutors, the case for a former Eastern student charged for her involvement in a Homecoming weekend shooting was dismissed Friday.

The case dismissal for Crystal P. Lovemore, 19, Chicago, is part of an agreement that Lorna Lovemore, her mother, testify about a conversation she had with Marc D. Griffin, 21, Chicago.

Griffin is charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm in connection with the Oct. 24 off-campus residential shooting into 1514 12th St. where both current and former Eastern students were present.

Reports in police documents show Lovemore and one of the 12th Street residents, Amral L. Johnson, Panther football player and junior sociology major, were romantically involved but quarreled two nights before the shooting. Johnson told police Lovemore said she had a boyfriend in Chicago with a gun.

“I can have you killed,” she reportedly said.

Probable cause was established Dec. 1 for both Griffin and Lovemore.

Lovemore’s attorney, David Stevens, then questioned her charges saying there was “no evidence Lovemore aided, agreed or attempted aid,” in the incident.

At that time, Assistant State’s Attorney Duane Deters said her threat, her involvement in an on-campus fight with Johnson prior to the shooting and her presence in Griffin’s vehicle at the time of arrest, were enough to determine probable cause.

During the Dec. 1 hearing, Charleston Police Department Detective Kevin Paddock testified the defendants were arrested Oct. 24 and were positively identified by the occupants of the home.

William G. Bumphus, one occupant of the 12th Street residence, told police he saw Griffin and Lovemore in the alley prior to the shooting.

Johnson and former Eastern basketball player Kyle E. Hill, Bolingbrook, told police Griffin tapped on the window and said, “Do you want to gun play?”

They reportedly turned off the lights, dropped to the floor and heard 5-7 shots fired.

Paddock said a 45-caliber gun was found in Griffin’s vehicle when he and Lovemore were stopped at Lincoln Avenue and Seventh Street.

Griffin’s Firearm Owner’s Identification Card was then traced, and he was shown as the owner of a 45-caliber Smith and Wesson.

Paddock said the shell casings found at and around the residence were identified by a crime scene technician as 45-caliber casings.

Johnson told police he, Griffin and Lovemore were involved in a fight at the First Annual Johnetta Jones Memorial Step Show

Shots were reported fired in the parking lot after Griffin and Lovemore left the show.

A witness told police he saw a man running in a gray and red Jason Kidd jersey with a gun in his hand near Eastern’s E-lot outside Lantz.

He later told police he was “80 percent sure” a jersey found in Lovemore’s residence was the same one the suspect was wearing.

University Police have been working with Charleston police and Illinois State Police for the on-campus shots-fired reports.

Circuit court dockets said $1,800 of Lovemore’s $2,000 bond will be refunded.

Because of Lovemore’s case dismissal, the motion for joinder was considered unapplicable and Griffin’s status hearing date was set for March 22 at 11 a.m. in Courtroom 1 of the Coles County Circuit Courthouse.
