Percy Llewellyn King IV, 33, was shot and killed on May 3, 2020, at a gathering of more than 200 people in the 1500 block of Westmoreland in Peoria. He was described as a well-known community volunteer and activist, active as a parent volunteer at PCCEO, and a devoted basketball and Dallas Cowboys fan.

After his death, family and community members set up a memorial at Griswold and Grinnell that included a giant blue teddy bear, flowers, and a photograph of Percy. Peoria police later told the family to remove the memorial, citing deflated balloons, burnt candles, and empty alcohol bottles; the family and community protested the decision and said the city lacked clear rules on memorial placement and duration. Percys parents, Percy King III and Stacey Johnson-King, along with his children and siblings, have spoken about their grief and called for more sensitivity in how such memorials are handled.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or memories of Percy to share that could help the family or investigators?
