Maurice M. Wilson was 15 when he was found shot in the 100 block of North Washington Avenue in Kankakee early on July 23, 2022. He was taken to Ascension St. Mary Hospital, where he died of his injuries. The Kankakee Police Department opened an immediate investigation.

A 16-year-old from Kankakee was arrested days later and charged as an adult with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated battery with a firearm; the juvenile’s name has been withheld. Kankakee County State’s Attorney Jim Rowe announced the charges, and a court found probable cause and set bond at $2,000,000. The defendant is being held at River Valley Juvenile Detention Center in Joliet. The motive for the shooting remains unclear and the investigation is continuing.

Did anyone in the Kankakee area see or hear anything that night, or have information about what led to Maurice being shot?
