Cook County Judge Raymond Myles was shot in April 2017 outside his West Chesterfield home.

Prosecutors reveal that Myles was not the intended target; it was actually his 52-year-old girlfriend whom the robbers initially confronted. She was shot in the incident but managed to survive.

Earl Wilson is accused of being the gunman responsible of Myles’ death.

Nearly eight years after the judge’s death, Wilson’s trial is set to begin on Monday. The jury selection will begin at 9:30 a.m.

The trial is expected to last two weeks.

Joshua Smith was accused of being the getaway driver of the botched robbery.

Smith pleaded guilty to one count of armed robbery in March 2024. He was sentenced to 35 years and must serve at least 50%.

Prosecutors said the duo stalked Myles’ girlfriend for weeks before the botched robbery.
