Central Hightower, a 37-year-old African American man from Plainfield, IL, was killed in a workplace shooting at the WeatherTech facility in Bolingbrook, IL, on June 25, 2022. The shooting occurred about 6:25 a.m. after reports of gunfire; officers found three people had been shot. Central Hightower was pronounced dead at the scene. Two co-workers, a 25-year-old man and a 43-year-old man, were also shot; the 25-year-old was critically wounded and the 43-year-old was treated and released.

Authorities identified 27-year-old Charles McKnight of Chicago, a temporary employee who had started at WeatherTech on June 9, 2022, as the suspect. Police say McKnight robbed two co-workers at gunpoint, taking a watch and a wallet; when other employees confronted him about the robbery an argument broke out and he pulled a handgun and opened fire. McKnight fled but was arrested a few hours later and charged with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
