Stepfather Of Isiah Scott Killed In Double Homicide Outside Of His Maywood Home
Last week, Dean Stansberry, 38, stood outside of the Family Dollar on the 1000 block of South Madison St. in Maywood to protest the unsolved murder of his stepson, Isiah Scott — the 19-year-old who was fatally shot just feet away from the store in March.
On July 30, Stansberry himself was murdered outside of his home, on the 1200 block of South 13th Ave. in Maywood. Yarnell M. White, 30, of Maywood, was also killed, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Since the death of his stepson on March 12 in Maywood, Stansberry and his wife, Kisha, Scott’s mother, had been on a crusade to find Scott’s killers — who they suspected were former friends of the 19-year-old.
On July 23, Dean and Kisha gathered with roughly 60 other people at the site of Scott’s murder for a press conference held to condemn the code of silence that the couple said was a contributing factor in Scott’s murder not being solved and to announce the existence of a $5,000 reward for anyone with information leading to an arrest.
