Two men who allegedly led Chicago police on a high-speed chase that lasted nearly an hour on some of the city’s busiest streets were ordered to be released from custody.
Kavion Davenport, 18, and Eugene Davenport, 19, appeared in court on Friday, where a judge granted their releases with non-discretionary conditions, including that they must refrain from going to certain geographic areas and communicating with particular people.
The younger of the two suspects, Kavion Davenport, was charged with four felony counts of burglary and misdemeanor criminal trespass to a vehicle/physical control. Prosecutors charged the second individual, Eugene Davenport, with four felony counts of burglary, felony reciving/posessing/selling a stolen vehicle and felony aggravated fleeing/damage of property greater than $300.
The two men were arrested by the Chicago Police Department’s Robbery Task Force following the chase on Wednesday, after being identified as the suspects in four burglaries, authorities said.
While both suspects share an address and the same last name, it’s unclear if they are related.

In the latest burglary, Chicago police on Wednesday said officers were called at around 10:30 a.m. to the 4100 block of North Greenwood Avenue on the city’s Far Northwest Side, where a 50-year-old man told officers three men broke into the driver’s side door of his vehicle and stole property from inside. The group then entered a different vehicle and fled the scene, police said. No injuries were reported.
A pursuit then occurred as the vehicle was being tracked by a Chicago police helicopter while it traveled at a high rate of speed through traffic and major city roadways. At one point, it went the wrong way on DuSable Lake Shore Drive and sparked a crash after exiting the Dan Ryan Expressway.
Roughly an hour after the chase began, the same vehicle was seen striking a building and a gate in the 7100 block of South Kedvale in the West Lawn neighborhood, as captured on footage by NBC Chicago’s Sky 5 helicopter.
Three people inside the vehicle were seen fleeing the crash, and police said all three were eventually taken into custody. Police previously announced charges against the third suspect, a 16-year-old boy. Authorities said on Thursday he was accused of felony burglary and misdemeanor criminal trespass to vehicle/physical control in connection with the incident on Wednesday morning.
