Brittany Rosalind Lane, 32, of Urbana, Illinois, died on September 22, 2021, from a gunshot wound to the neck sustained two days earlier. On the night of September 20, 2021, she was found with the wound inside a car parked at an apartment complex in Champaign and was taken to Carle Foundation Hospital, where she later died.

Reports say Lane was a lifelong resident of the Champaign‑Urbana area and had been sitting in the passenger seat when a single round fired from a handgun discharged in the vehicle. Devontre Newbill, 27, was in the backseat with the weapon; investigators determined the shooting was not accidental and Newbill was arrested and charged with murder.

Lane’s death deeply affected her family and the local community. Does anyone have information about Lane’s last known movements or the night of September 20 that could help clarify what happened?
