Jeffery L. Carson Jr., 29, was shot multiple times and killed on December 15, 2019, in the 900 block of West Hillcrest Drive in DeKalb, Illinois. The shooting occurred just before midnight after residents of an apartment complex returned home and were confronted by two armed men who demanded money. A struggle followed; multiple shots were fired and three people were struck by gunfire. Carson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say Carson and another suspect attempted to rob the residents, and investigators executed several search warrants that recovered three handguns connected to the incident. Vanity Garcia, 28, of Aurora, Illinois, has been charged with concealing a homicide and accused of driving a vehicle involved in a high-speed police pursuit after the shooting; she also faces charges of aggravated fleeing to elude and driving with a suspended license. The investigation is ongoing and authorities indicated additional charges or arrests may come.

Did anyone in the DeKalb area see activity near West Hillcrest Drive that night or know more about the people involved?
