Marlin was caught distributing drugs at 18 while both J Marlin and Rontel were involved in another car theft just 4 days earlier on November 29th when they threatened a vehicle owner with a firearm, demanded her wallet, and drove away in her car.

Marlin finally out, units now focus on getting Rontel out of the car. But even after assigning an officer to ride with each suspect to the hospital, there's much still left to be uncovered about J Marlin and Rontel. >> 102101. I'm riding with him. Okay. >> Did you guys end up catching the date to that uh that carjacking? I don't know how recent it is. >> Pretty recent cuz I looked in the thing. plate reader and it was only uh start hitting the stone like in the first.

With the victims already transported to the hospital, and J Marlin and Rontel now preparing to be transported as well, officers believe the scene is beginning to wind down, but one phone call is about to change the way they have been looking at the two suspects all along. I'm >> just looking to make sure nothing else came out of that car, like a gun or something else. You know, >> these guys don't care. >> No, they don't. >> Right now, the only thing I care about is that they're in pain. That's it. >> Is in a horrible spot. >> It might be interesting. That might be interesting. >> Hold everything cuz they shot a guy during the process and they don't know the condition. >> All right. Well, these were both laying right in the track of the crash. So, Lantel and J Marlin had not only stolen the car the night before, but they had also threatened the owner to step out before one of them fired multiple shots at him. Then, they fled in his car, leaving the victim bleeding from his gunshot wounds. He was immediately rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. Now, as officers put the final pieces of this duo's shocking crime puzzle into place, they will eventually discover that one consequence of this incident is about to change the nature of the case. >> All right. Hey, this guy is actually looking at murder charges that you got in that in that squad. So, he nothing to lose by trying to get away or uh grab your gun or anything like that. So, be extra careful. All right? Don't let him out of your sight. Uh stay in the room with him. Like I said, he's got nothing to lose except because he's up on murder charges. All right, you need I'm going to have someone I'm going to have someone replace him. We're going to call for overtime. >> Contrary to everyone's fears, the shooting victim survived and was released from the hospital a week later, but with the bullet still lodged in his hip and mounting medical bills, he set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the costs. [music] However, the same could not be said for Sally, who passed away that same night from multiple injuries sustained in the crash. Her husband Norman later filed a wrongful death and negligence lawsuit against the city of Solen and the village of Bentleyville, arguing that deploying high-risk stopsticks at 80 mph directly in the path of innocent drivers was an act of negligence. There are no known updates indicating whether the lawsuit ever reached a settlement. Ultimately for this case, J. Marlin was charged with felony, involuntary manslaughter, aggravated robbery, felonious [music] assault, aggravated vehicular assault, times two, failure to comply with order or signal of a police officer, having weapons while under disability, carrying a concealed weapon, grand theft. He was also charged with a felony count of drug trafficking from the June 2021 case. Rontel was charged with felony aggravated [music] robbery, robbery, grand theft, theft/ petty theft. Ultimately, J. A Marlin was sentenced to 71 12 years in prison for all three cases against him since 2021. Rontel was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the same crimes. While justice may have been served, Sally's family and community will never forget the life she lived and the loss [music] they continue to carry.
