“A burglar shot and killed by a mother as she hid her baby in a closet during a home invasion was a serial criminal who'd only recently been freed from jail.
Shelby Hurd, 36, died last Tuesday after being blasted in the head with a bullet while entering the unidentified mother's home in Joliet, Illinois.
Patch reported that Hurd was only freed on parole in February this year over a slew of previous burglary convictions.
In 2024, he pleaded guilty to two separate burglary incidents that took place 10 days apart in March 2022.
Hurd was sentenced to four years with 170 days credit for time served. It is unclear how he ended up being freed back onto the streets in early 2025.
The burglar also spent previous stints behind bars over 2019 charges for burglary of a vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle and being a felon in possession of a weapon. …”

Sadly, it's not uncommon in just about every state for a felon convicted of nonviolent offenses to be back out of prison after serving just a quarter to a third of their sentence.
So he got a 3.5 year prison sentence after the credit for pretrial jail time, and he then did about a year, which is about the usual.

Not in Virginia.
Here, on felonies, you serve a minimum of 85% of the sentence. The most you can get off, for extraordinarily good behavior, is 15%.

Just quoting for emphasis. There better not be any "he was such a good boy", "Turning his life around", "potential rapper"(as if that's a bonus),... All w/ ignoring the victims.
Other than that, I'll leave this here: IN THE FACE!!!

^^^ Never to be “Hurd” again is sooo much more satisfying

Its not clear that his body was here and his head over there.
She might have turned it into a canoe.

I would just about put money that his $400 cap and $700 hoodie are no longer wearable. He must have had very good employment to afford those very nice designer cloths.

Gotta wonder what was going thru his head when he saw the muzzle of that gun in front of his face. We all know what was going thru his head a second later....
