Elliot Jones, 21, was fatally shot on May 29, 2020, in unincorporated Gurnee. The shooting happened around 9:50 p.m. in the 36900 block of North Grandwood Drive, in front of Jones’ residence. He was transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he was pronounced dead after suffering at least one gunshot wound.

Investigators say Jones had met with Donterrance M. Nixon, 22, and Jordae Wilson, 19, to buy marijuana but that Nixon and Wilson intended to rob him. After Jones handed over money, the pair drove off without giving him the drugs. Jones tried to retrieve the money by holding onto the vehicle and was shot by an occupant of the car.

Nixon and Wilson were charged with first-degree murder. A third man, Dalance Montrell Robinson, 21, was arrested and accused of being the shooter but was found not guilty at trial in March 2024. The State’s Attorney’s Office said it remains supportive of Jones’ family as proceedings against Wilson continue.

If anyone knew Elliot, saw him May 29, 2020, or has information about the incident, please share what is known.
