The squabble started just after midnight, and by the time the girl reached the gas station, it was 3:30 a.m.Dead in the first-floor apartment in the 7900 block of Ellis were her brothers, Quinton Jackson, 14, and Marquise Jackson, 12. The Sun-Times is not naming the girl because she is said to be a victim of sexual assault.Gilbert went to the apartment shortly after midnight to return some belongings to his girlfriend, who was working overnight as a security guard, the source said. The kids were arguing about cleaning the house, and Gilbert allegedly got angry with Quinton.He allegedly picked up the weight and hit Quinton on the head, but the girl got between them and told Gilbert not to hit her brother. He turned on the girl, allegedly striking her with a weight. The girl and Marquise fled into a bedroom, but Gilbert followed, armed with a steak knife, an investigator said. He lunged at Marquise, and the sister again tried to stop him, but Gilbert stabbed her, the source said.Gilbert then turned on Marquise, stabbing him repeatedly and tying his hands with a phone cord before putting him in a closet, the source said. He also stabbed Quinton repeatedly, the source said. He then allegedly put a pillowcase over their sister's head and sexually assaulted her before putting her in the closet -- hands tied -- next to her brother.Gilbert told investigators he thought the girl was dead, the source said. The boys died from multiple stab wounds, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. Their sister was recovering at the University of Chicago Hospitals.Gilbert, 36, was charged Thursday evening with two counts of murder, attempted murder and aggravated criminal sexual assault. He had been convicted in the 1990s for sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl.All day Thursday, cars slowed as motorists pointed at the apartment building on Ellis. Word soon spread about the brutal attacks on the siblings, who attended Avalon Park Elementary School.Quinton, who was about to graduate, beamed in his eighth-grade picture. He was remembered as a tall, athletic boy and a fine dresser. He shoveled snow for neighbors and loved playing video games. He often was seen with his younger brother in tow.They played basketball and baseball together. Marquise was due to get an award at school Thursday. Teachers and classmates said their sister was reserved but bright."All three were very nice, respectful kids,'' said Gloria Dixon, a school security guard. "The oldest one, he was so sweet. He was just telling me he had taken his eighth-grade picture and couldn't wait to see it. The youngest, he was just quiet."Contributing: Lisa Donovan and Leonard N. Fleming
