Terrence Jerome DeCarlos Dunigan Jr., a 21-year-old from Peoria, Illinois, was found with a gunshot wound on September 5, 2020, in the 3300 block of West Woodhill Lane and was pronounced dead at the scene. Family members said he had been doing well before the shooting and appealed to the community for help identifying those responsible.

Investigators described the shooting as occurring during a botched robbery at a dice game at a Peoria apartment, where several people had gathered. The case involved multiple defendants: Mikeal Reed, 19, was initially convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 30 years, but that conviction was later overturned by the Illinois Fourth District Appellate Court on the grounds that the trial had an incorrect robbery instruction. Tayla T. Zolicoffer Jr., 21, pleaded guilty to armed robbery in January 2024 and received a 24-year sentence after the murder charge was dropped. Keon M. Patterson, 18, was found not guilty after a bench trial in November 2023.

The family continues to seek justice and closure. Anyone with information about the shooting or the events at the dice game is asked to come forward.
