Three women – Alicia Sykes, Carmelita Walker and Diamond Hood – are accused of helping and letting Jackson, who is a felon, stay at their homes.
Investigators said Sykes told them Jackson is her cousin, and he called her and asked for a ride to Texas shortly after the February incident. Police said in early March that Sykes and Walker hopped in the car, traveled from Racine to Chicago, picked up Jackson and dropped him off in Texas. Sykes told police that Jackson returned to Racine shortly after being dropped off in Texas.
