To the shock and amazement of absolutely nobody, the two no accounts charged in the murder of Shabar T. Hildebran, 19, (himself no stranger to criminal charges) both had extensive criminal records.
Lonnell Javey Powell and Tionne Gregory Hunter have both spend a significant portion of their lives burning up taxpayer dollars in the judicial system, as follows...

Lonnell Javey Powell should not be confused with Lonnell Mark Powell or Lonnell Irven Powell, who also have criminal records and show up in the system. They also have a number of civil cases which look like attempts to collect on debts.
However, when the name "Powell" came up in association with this case the first question on the mind of one Johnny Northside source was, "Is this guy part of the infamously criminally inclined Powell family? Some of whom were living in the house at 26th and Knox during the 'drug and gang house riot' which happened in the Jordan Neighborhood?"
As for Tionne Gregory Hunter, though he lacks the Powell brand name, his record is equally dismal.
