Man sentenced in connection to teen's body found burning in Harvey alley
BURNHAM, Ill. (WLS) -- A man was sentenced in the brutal murder of a south suburban teenager.
On October 28, 2021, Isaiah Davis, 17, was shot and killed. Prosecutors said his body was set on fire and left in a Harvey alley.
Faheem Norwood, 34 at the time, was arrested in January 2022 for the teen's brutal murder. He was originally charged with concealing a homicide, abusing a corpse, murder and dismembering a human body.
Nearly four years after the homicide, a jury found Norwood guilty on two of those charges in March.
It took the jury about three hours of deliberations to find Norwood guilty of concealing a homicide and abusing a corpse. However, he was found not guilty of murder and dismembering a human body.
In August 2025, a judge sentenced Norwood to a total of 13 years: ten for concealing a homicide charge and three for abusing a corpse
