Keyera LaRae Gant, 25, was one of three people found shot to death on August 9, 2021, in a home on the 2500 block of South 10th Street in Springfield. The other victims were Savante English, 27, and Bryant K. Williams, 27. Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon described the scene as among the most horrific he had seen; investigators reported the victims died of gunshot wounds.

Keyera was a Springfield Southeast High School graduate who had earned a Bachelor’s degree in Health Administration from Lincoln College and worked as a Staffing Coordinator at Home Instead. The investigation produced arrests of three men. Two were convicted of first-degree murder, armed violence, and armed robbery and sentenced to life without parole; a third pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received a 20-year term after testifying for the prosecution. Prosecutors said robbery was the motive and presented evidence that one defendant had texted about either buying methamphetamine from Williams or robbing him shortly before the shootings.
