Tonika Flager, a 43-year-old woman from Washington Park, Illinois, was found dead in the 1500 block of Westmoreland Avenue shortly after 7 a.m. on August 12, 2022. Born July 6, 1979, at Scott Air Force Base, she was remembered by family for her intelligence, love of dancing and music, and for working on puzzles with her grandmother.

Authorities have treated her death as a homicide. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified, and investigators from multiple law enforcement agencies have been involved as they seek leads. The lack of concrete information has left family and the community without closure.

If anyone knew Tonika, saw activity in the Westmoreland Avenue area that morning, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
