Derrick Williams-Scott, a 32-year-old African American man from Joliet, Illinois, was shot and killed just after midnight on June 12, 2020. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds on the front steps of a house in the 1100 block of Richards Street and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at AMITA Health Saint Joseph Medical Center.

Joliet police say an argument occurred while Williams-Scott and a 41-year-old Crest Hill man, Nathaniel R. Hill, were seated in a car. Williams-Scott reportedly struck Hill in the back of the head, exited the vehicle, and Hill then followed him outside and shot him multiple times before fleeing. Hill was arrested the following morning and charged with first-degree murder; he was held in the Will County Jail on $5 million bail. Reports note prior charges in Hill’s criminal history and that prosecutors described a pattern of violent behavior during the case.
