Couriaun L. Atkins, a 23-year-old African American man from Peoria, Illinois, was shot multiple times and died on October 22, 2022. Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood reported the fatal gunshot wounds. Peoria police responded after two ShotSpotter alerts around 2:36 a.m. for the 2900 block of West Seibold Street; officers found Couriaun and life-saving measures were unsuccessful.

Investigators say a total of 16 shots were fired at the scene. One related person named in reporting is Dominicue Linwood, who has been identified as a suspect in several shootings; he has been charged in a separate case but not in Couriaun’s death.

Does anyone have information about what happened on West Seibold Street that night or saw activity in that area around 2:30 a.m.?
