Two Women Charged With Purchasing Gun Used To Kill Champaign Police Officer

Two women are charged with illegally purchasing the gun used in the killing of a Champaign Police Officer last year. A federal grand jury indicted Ashantae Corruthers of Indianapolis and Regina Lewis of Normal. The indictment claims that Corruthers and Lewis conspired with Darion Lafayette, who is now deceased, to purchase and transfer a firearm to Lafayette. Lafayette later used the firearm to shoot and kill Champaign Police Officer Christopher Oberheim in May, 2021.
