Jamerion Boose was 20 when he was fatally shot on the night of August 22, 2020, in the 1300 block of 10th Street in Rockford, Illinois. Known to family and friends as Peanut, he was born September 8, 1999, and graduated from Auburn High School. He enjoyed spending time with loved ones, playing video games, and eating good food.

The shooting happened around 11:00 p.m. and was one of at least four people shot in the same incident, according to the Winnebago County Coroner. Rockford’s police chief linked the surge in shootings and murders over that weekend to street gangs. The Rockford Police Department opened an investigation; details about arrests or suspects are limited. His family held a visitation and burial service.
