Over the next several days the detectives canvassed several different addresses found in the defendant's criminal history, Chicago Housing Authority records, public aid records, State driver's license records, and police reports. Learning from police reports that the defendant was implicated in the killings, they began to search for him. On August 19, 1982, Detectives James Antanocci and Allen Jaglowski were assigned to investigate the Dickens and Copeland killings. Both Smith and Johnson were later indicted with the defendant. The record does not reveal whether both Smith and Johnson, or either of them, witnessed both killings. Two alleged eyewitnesses to these killings, James Smith and Wilbur Johnson, talked to certain Chicago police officers sometime thereafter and implicated the defendant. Approximately 10 to 15 minutes later, four to five blocks away, Lonell Copeland was killed in the 3800 block of West Roosevelt Road.

Although the trial court denied the defendant's first motion to suppress, finding that the defendant's in custody statements were voluntarily given, it sustained the defendant's second motion, suppressing the statements as the product of an unlawful arrest. More specifically, the defendant's second motion contended that he was illegally arrested in his home without a warrant, in violation of Payton v. During the hearing on this motion the defendant filed a second motion which requested that his arrest be quashed and his statements suppressed on the basis that these statements were obtained in violation of his fourth and fourteenth amendment rights. Thereafter, defendant filed a motion to suppress several statements he made while in custody on the basis that these statements were obtained in violation of his fifth, sixth, and fourteenth amendment rights. On September 6, 1982, the defendant, together with three other persons, was charged by indictment in the circuit court of Cook County with the offenses of murder, armed violence, and conspiracy (Ill.
