Two members of the same Joliet family were fatally shot within a year of one another, and both killings remain unsolved. Floyd Faint Jr., a 29-year-old African American man, was shot multiple times and killed on July 20, 2019, on the I&M Canal State Trail near Rockdale. The Illinois State Police led the investigation, and no arrests have been announced.

Less than a year later Floyd Faint Sr., a 47-year-old African American man and the victim’s father, was shot multiple times and killed on April 28, 2020, in his driveway in the 700 block of Francis Street near Henderson Avenue in Joliet. Joliet police have not made any arrests in that case either. Raids on two houses near Henderson Avenue, including the elder Faint’s residence, took place after a separate fatal shooting of a relative, Jeffery Faint, on November 1, 2022; those raids were not directly tied to Floyd Sr.’s unsolved homicide.

What additional information might help move either investigation forward for those who knew the family or witnessed activity around the crime scenes?
