In 2012, Thompson was sentenced to eight years in prison for several Southeast Side home invasions that turned violent.

“He beat up the residents. He beat up the women. He put a gun to their heads, that was bold and callous,” said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers.

In March 2022, Judge Hill sentences Thompson to deferred probation after he pleads guilty to felon in possession of a weapon.

“Within three months, he is charged again with more violent crimes,” Kahan said. “Another aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, also believed to have shot the victim.”

Instead of revoking his probation and sending Thompson back to jail, Judge Josh Hill set bail at just $70,000.

“He’s getting off on a tiny bond, given his violent history,” Kahan said.

Judge Hill’s decision to grant Thompson his freedom may have cost 22-year-old Keambra Bibbs her life.

According to court documents, she knew Thompson.

On Sept. 4, police say Thompson shot Keambra multiple times and then dumped her body in the parking lot of a Medical Center office building.

Get this, apparently Thompson wanted to stay in good graces with Judge Josh Hill.

He appeared in court on September 17, 13 days after he allegedly killed Keambra.

Thompson was charged with murder on October 31.

On Tuesday, he surrendered.

“It was a tragedy. But very preventable because you’ve had it multiple times, but we keep getting it out,” Kahan said. “Now, we have a dead young lady.”
