Deashawn Turner, 21, was fatally shot just after midnight on July 25, 2020, inside a residence in the 2200 block of Emerson Street in Evanston, Illinois. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and arm and was taken to NorthShore University Hospital, where he died shortly after arrival. Witnesses reported a male suspect wearing light-colored clothing fleeing the scene immediately after the shooting.

Turner’s death occurred during a violent weekend in Evanston that included the killing of Andrew Williams less than 40 hours later. Investigators noted the proximity and circumstances of the shootings and have explored a possible connection, including gang-related motives. Three men — Ronald Green, 23, Tyree Hooper, 22, and Terrence Hooper, 23 — were charged with first-degree murder in the Williams case, and detectives were investigating whether they had any link to Turner’s death. The Evanston police and a suburban homicide task force said the investigation into Turner’s murder is ongoing.
