Note: Twanda Thompson and James Larry were residents of Madison. The homicides occurred at his mother’s home in Chicago.

James Larry, 32, fatally shot his pregnant wife, Twanda, who had also been beaten before she was killed. He also shot his infant son, Jihad; mother, Leona; and two nieces, Keleasha and Keyshai. He injured his 13-year-old nephew, fired at another 12-year-old niece as she fled the home, and attempted to shoot another adult in the home.

In November 2009, James Larry pled no-contest to a battery charge in Dane County stemming from an assault on his wife in a store parking lot. Witnesses reported that he grabbed her by the face and squeezed her cheeks, covering her nose and mouth, and then pushed her against a van, yelling, “What would you do if your woman was acting like this?”

Family members described James Larry as controlling and said that Twanda Thompson resisted dressing as he wanted her to. They reported that he wanted her and other family members to follow his religious beliefs and practices.

James Larry pled guilty in Cook County to multiple counts of homicide and attempted homicide. He was sentenced to five life sentences in prison and additional time on the other counts.
