A Chicago man was sentenced to 40 years in prison Monday after he pleaded guilty to carjacking a pregnant woman in her Downers Grove driveway in 2019.
Emanuel Embry, 23, appeared in court Monday where Judge Michael Reidy handed down the sentence after he pleaded guilty last year to one count of aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm, according to DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin.
A friend of the victim witnessed the carjacking and followed the stolen vehicle. When it stopped in traffic, the victim's friend approached the stolen car, and Embry and Robinson both fled, according to prosecutors. Daysean Washington-Davis, 22, who was the driver of the vehicle that brought Embry and Robinson to the scene of the hijacking, was taken into custody at his apartment in Chicago on Dec. 17.
