Kyle M. Johnson was 19 and from Olney, Illinois when he was found with multiple gunshot wounds at an Olney intersection on September 6, 2020. He was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries. The case involved multiple people and led to arrests and prosecutions.

Rick Meador, 19, was identified as a primary suspect; he and his then 16-year-old girlfriend fled to Mt. Vernon and later to Florida and were arrested about three weeks after the murder. Meador pleaded guilty to one of four counts of first-degree murder and received a 50-year sentence. His girlfriend, Kalia Arnone, was tried as an adult and sentenced to 15 years for conspiracy to commit murder.

Three others were implicated: Tara Haws, 33, was charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to 50 years. Dale Boatman Jr., 32, faced charges including first-degree murder by accountability and conspiracy; he later pleaded guilty to aggravated battery by discharge of a firearm and was sentenced to 15 years. Misty Whipple, 44, was charged with felony aiding a fugitive for renting a van used in the escape; she pleaded guilty and received 180 days in jail and 24 months probation.
