Ameyah Tenise Brewton, a 21-year-old from Gurnee, Illinois, died on September 13, 2020 after being shot during a domestic dispute at a residence in the 600 block of Creekside Circle. She was found shortly after midnight with at least one gunshot wound, taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Police identified her partner as 19-year-old Isaiah J. Cole of Gurnee. Investigators determined the shooting occurred inside the domestic relationship and say Cole was handling a loaded gun when it accidentally discharged, striking Ameyah in the arm and rib cage. Witnesses reported Cole immediately expressed remorse. Cole was charged with involuntary manslaughter and multiple weapons- and drug-related counts; he later pleaded guilty to one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of unlawful possession of meth with intent to distribute, with other charges dismissed, and received a four-year prison term with credit for time served plus three years of probation on release.
