Beverly A. Lambert, 25, was shot twice in the back of the head in the hallway of an apartment building in the 500 block of Twilight Drive in Morris, Illinois, at about 4:25 p.m. on August 4, 2022. First responders secured the scene and she was taken to Morris Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 6:55 p.m. that evening. She had been picking up her baby from a sitter when the shooting occurred.

Police say the gunman fled in Lambert’s car, triggering a shelter-in-place alert and a multi-agency search that used newly installed license plate reader technology to trace the stolen vehicle. By that evening a 16 year old was taken into custody in Joliet; authorities identified him as Cortez Rice and prosecutors charged him as an adult with first-degree murder and other counts. A grand jury later returned a broader indictment that included aggravated vehicular hijacking, and a judge set bond at $5 million. Neighbors and family described Lambert as a devoted young mother; authorities said there was no known connection between her and the teen, who had been seen earlier asking people for rides.

Does anyone have information about Beverly’s movements that afternoon or about activity around Twilight Drive that could help fill in the timeline?
