A man convicted of stabbing to death his two West Rogers Park roommates, later lit their apartment on fire and flew to Las Vegas, where he used their credit cards, has been sentenced to natural life in prison, according to prosecutors and court records.
DeJuan Pratt, 27, was sentenced to natural life plus 30 years Tuesday by Judge Charles Burns after being found guilty of murder, armed robbery and arson in December in the Aug. 28, 2012, killings of Gary Brown, 64, and Chun Xiao Lee, 48, according to court records.
Pratt, formerly of Ohio, had answered a Craigslist ad, and five days before the murders had moved into the third-floor apartment Brown and Lee shared in the 6400 block of North Sacramento Avenue, prosecutors have said.
Emergency crews were called to the apartment about 3:45 p.m. that day following reports of a fire. The two roommates were found lying next to each other on a bed, wrapped in blankets. A partially melted gasoline container was found on the kitchen floor.
Both victims had been repeatedly stabbed, prosecutors have said.
Detectives figured out Pratt had recently moved in and found he had filed a police report on the day of the killings, claiming he had been attacked by three people he didn’t know and had suffered a deep slash wound to his left hand, prosecutors said at the time. Pratt was treated for the wound at Presence St. Francis Hospital in Evanston about 4 a.m. the next day.
Almost a month after the killings, Pratt flew to Las Vegas and posted on his Facebook page that he was “Chilling right now — at The Venetian Las Vegas.” When he flew home to Chicago the next day, Sept. 24, 2012, Chicago police arrested him at O’Hare International Airport. He was carrying credit cards belonging to the victims.
