Christopher Lee Tillman, a 46-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in Peoria, Illinois, on September 20, 2022. He was found with three gunshot wounds to the back and one to the right arm after an incident around 9 PM on the 600 block of NE Adams Street in the Taft Homes area, and later died at a hospital.

Investigators used surveillance footage that appears to show a teenage suspect chasing Tillman and firing the shots. The suspect was identified as 16-year-old Lamarion K. Wright and was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon; because of the charges and his age, he was automatically tried as an adult. Reports note a guilty plea entered in November 2024 and a capped sentence under the plea agreement, with sentencing scheduled for December 30, 2024.

Anyone who was in the Taft Homes area on the evening of September 20, 2022, or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
