Kemonte Rice, a 25-year-old man, has found himself in legal trouble after a series of events that have left a 13-year-old boy dead and raised questions about his actions. It all started last autumn when a woman accused Rice of sexually assaulting her at gunpoint. Despite prosecutors’ requests to keep him in jail, Judge Ankur Srivastava placed Rice on home confinement with an ankle monitor.

Tragically, while still wearing the ankle monitor, Rice’s 13-year-old nephew, Tawon Tribble Jr., accidentally shot and killed himself on March 24. Prosecutors allege that Rice instructed the boy to unload the weapon and clean the bullets before the fatal incident. After the shooting, Rice left his home, went to his mother’s house, and hid the firearm under a mattress.

Now facing charges in connection with Tawon’s death, Rice is no longer a free man. A judge has ordered him to remain in jail, a stark contrast to his previous release on home confinement.

The initial incident involving the sexual assault at gunpoint occurred when Rice and a woman were engaging in consensual sex. When the woman wanted to stop because she needed to attend a birthday party, Rice allegedly pulled out a gun and forced her to continue. The woman texted her sister for help, leading to Rice’s arrest by Chicago police.

Months later, Tawon Tribble Jr. visited Rice’s home, as he often did, and tragically lost his life in a shooting accident. Despite initial confusion surrounding the circumstances of the shooting, investigators later found that the gun responsible for Tawon’s death was hidden in Rice’s mother’s home.

Rice’s conflicting statements and alleged attempts to conceal the truth have only added to the complexity of the case. Ultimately, Judge James Murphy III detained Rice on charges of child endangerment causing death and obstruction of justice. Additionally, Rice faced consequences for violating the terms of his pretrial release in the sexual assault and firearms case from last fall.

The tragic events surrounding Kemonte Rice and Tawon Tribble Jr. serve as a reminder of the importance of accountability and responsibility in handling firearms and ensuring the safety of those around us.
