Jonathan E Barry, 31, of Danville, Illinois, was shot and killed early on August 28, 2022. He was found inside a house near Cherry and Hazel Streets, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds and already deceased when police arrived. The Vermilion County Coroner, Jane McFadden, confirmed his identity and said an autopsy would be performed.

Friends described Barry as a good person and a father of two young girls. He had been attending a party at the residence; police had responded there earlier that night for noise complaints before the situation escalated into the fatal shooting. The Danville Police Department and the Coroner’s Office are investigating and have appealed for public tips.

If anyone attended that gathering or has information about who was at the house near Cherry and Hazel Streets that morning, please come forward to assist the investigation.
