Tremaine Wilson was 15 and a sophomore at Kankakee High School when he was fatally shot on February 17, 2022. He was asleep on a couch at a family residence in the 300 block of South Harrison Avenue when a bullet fired from the street struck him. The shooter reportedly fired into the house from the street and then fled.

Tremaine loved basketball, hoped to be a rapper, and was described as deeply religious, often encouraging peers to stay positive. His mother, Deshawna Shabazz, and his siblings survived him; funeral services were held at Second Baptist Church and he was buried at Mound Grove Cemetery. The Kankakee Police Department offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest, but no suspects have been apprehended and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone in Kankakee have information about that early-morning shooting or saw suspicious activity on South Harrison Avenue that night?
