Latronze Kelly, a 29-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on December 10, 2020, in Springfield, Illinois. The shooting occurred about 7:34 p.m. while Kelly sat in his van in the parking lot of a Wendy’s on the city’s west side. Two men approached and fired multiple times; Kelly was taken to Memorial Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly before 8:30 p.m. An autopsy found he died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Witnesses were present, but the two suspects fled in a dark green pickup truck that had duct tape on the driver’s side window. Springfield police say the attack was targeted, not random, and investigators were examining possible links to other recent shootings. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active.

If anyone was in that shopping district that evening or has information about the pickup truck or the two men, please come forward to assist the investigation.
