Cassandra Green, 21, of Rockford, was among the three defendants who appeared in DuPage County, charged with murder in the January 2018 death of Michael Armendariz. Prosecutors said Green, who had known Armendariz since the age of 11, had shown her boyfriend, Ernest Collins, of Rockford, and his mother, Candice Jones, photos of Armendariz on social media posing with large amounts of cash and drugs and argued that the three schemed to rob the 20-year-old Naperville man and then went on to hide his body in a blue garbage can after he was killed.
