Shyann S. Foster was 25 when she was found dead at her home on North Walnut Grove Avenue in Decatur, Illinois, on May 9, 2022. Officers answered a report of shots fired at about 7:30 p.m. and discovered Shyann with apparent gunshot wounds; the Macon County coroner’s preliminary autopsy found multiple gunshot wounds to the head and extremities and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified 29-year-old Darius Coffie as a suspect and an arrest warrant for first-degree murder was issued. Coffie was arrested after a brief chase by the U.S. Marshals and Springfield Police Department and held in Sangamon County before being transferred to the Macon County Jail; his bond was set at $10 million.

Shyann, known as Starr to family and friends, was remembered as quiet yet outgoing and devoted to her children and family. Does anyone who knew Shyann or was in that neighborhood on May 9 have information that could help fill in what happened that evening?
