Juanya Booker, a 20-year-old African American man from Montgomery, Illinois, was killed in a shooting on December 1, 2019, in the 700 block of South 5th Street in Aurora. Police say officers responding to reports of multiple people shot at a residence found three adults with gunshot wounds; Booker was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to a nearby hospital. Two other adults were stabilized and two more victims arrived at the hospital later with wounds from the same incident.

Police described the attack as an isolated incident rather than a random act and said the investigation was in its early stages. Crime Stoppers offered a cash reward and authorities asked anyone with information to come forward. Booker had survived an earlier shooting as a child in 2002, when he and his brother were shot while sitting in the family station wagon. No arrests had been announced in connection with his death.
