Ronell Dortch Jr., a 22-year-old father of two, was shot and killed in Aurora, Illinois. The shooting occurred in the early hours of May 3, 2020, after Ronell and a few friends had been at someone’s house the night before. Police received a shots-fired call in the 2700 block of Village Green Drive and shortly afterward a local hospital reported Ronell arrived in critical condition with a gunshot wound; he later died of his injuries.

Ronell worked at Carl Buddig and Company in Montgomery and was described by family as having been committed to turning his life around after earlier struggles. His mother, Roshanda Mays, a younger sister and a brother survive him and are caring for his young daughters. The Aurora Police Department is investigating and has not publicly identified any suspects or made arrests; authorities have asked anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone have information about Ronell, the night of May 2–3, 2020, or the area around Village Green Drive?
