CHICAGO (WLS) — Seven men accused in a downtown crash-and-grab burglary that led to a deadly crash are now facing charges.

Thieves were caught on camera early Thursday backing a truck into a Louis Vuitton store on the Mag Mile. Chicago police said the suspects crashed while fleeing the scene, into a vehicle driven by 40-year-old Mark Arceta of Skokie. He did not survive.

All seven men are now charged in both crimes, officials said. Some of them appeared in court Saturday to face first-degree murder, burglary and theft charges.

The accused thieves will remain behind bars after a Cook County judge ordered 26-year-old Harvey Fisher, 37-year-old Alton Jackson, 22-year-old Anthony Hemphill and 19-year-old Keith Perkins to be held in custody pending their trials.

Family members told ABC7 that Arceta was the innocent bystander who was killed in the crash with an alleged getaway vehicle. The victim was an expectant father, whose son was born Friday just a day after his death, they said.

The incident occurred at about 4:53 a.m. Thursday in the 100-block of East Walton Street along the Magnificent Mile downtown Chicago, police said.

Cellphone video captured the moments after thieves used a pick up truck to ram into a Louis Vuitton store. A group of people could be seen running in and out of the store with stolen items. The thieves then get into several vehicles and speed off, police said.

In court Saturday, prosecutors said the crew managed to take nearly $700,000 dollars in merchandise before fleeing from police.

Authorities said one of the getaway vehicles, a Black Kia allegedly driven by Dejuan Wingard, was traveling approximately 77 miles per hour down Michigan Avenue when it collided at Michigan and Ohio with a Honda CRV driven by Arceta, who was on his way to work. His wife gave birth to a son shortly after the crash.

Chicago police say they found a loaded gun and ammo in the getaway car.

A second vehicle used in the theft, an Infiniti, fled from the police down DuSable Lake Shore Drive. Police said the Infiniti jumped over a concrete barrier, before its tires blew out near Roosevelt Road. Offenders Hemphill and Perkins attempted to flee on foot, but both were apprehended, CPD said. Two additional occupants of the vehicle are still at large.

Prosecutors said Jackson is a 10-time felon who committed the crime, adding that his co-defendant Hemphill participated in the scheme despite being on probation.

Defense attorneys for the men say they all have strong ties to the community.

The hearing was too much for the pregnant girlfriend of one of the suspects. She was rushed from the courtroom after experiencing a medical emergency.

The three other suspects who were arrested did not appear in court Saturday and remain hospitalized. The next court date is set for September 19.

Family member told ABC7 on Friday that Arceta was eager to meet his son.

“Mom, it’s a boy… when he showed me the ultrasound,” the victim’s mother Alejandra Arceta said.

However, about 24 hours before Arceta’s pregnant wife was scheduled to have labor induced, tragedy struck in the heart of the Mag Mile.

“I said, ‘So unfair. Life is so unfair,'” Alejandra Arceta said.

Mark Arceta had died at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the same medical campus where he was headed to work for his job in animal science research. It was his final work shift before beginning a four-week paternity.
