Gavile Jackson, an 18-year-old African American man from Mundelein, Illinois, was shot and killed on May 28, 2020, in the parking lot of the Walgreens at 345 North Lake Street. The Lake County Coroner, Dr. Howard Cooper, attributed Jackson’s death to injuries from a gunshot wound. He was found with life-threatening injuries, taken by ambulance to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, and pronounced dead.

Investigators say Jackson had arranged a meet-up in the Walgreens lot for an exchange with a known acquaintance that may have been drug-related. Witness accounts and surveillance footage identified 21-year-old Alessis Botello as the person who exited the passenger seat of a vehicle and shot Jackson; the shooter and the driver reportedly fled on foot and in the vehicle after the shooting. The Mundelein Police Department and the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force led the investigation, and an arrest warrant charging Botello with two counts of first-degree murder was issued in June 2020.

Is anyone who knew Gavile or who was in that area on May 28, 2020 able to share information about the meet-up, the vehicle, or those involved?
