Bronzel P. Howard, a 34-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on June 23, 2019, inside an apartment at the Harrison Homes Apartments in the 2700 block of West Trewyn Avenue in Peoria, Illinois. Police responded after a ShotSpotter alert for multiple rounds; officers found Howard with multiple gunshot wounds and he died at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center shortly before 11:30 p.m. An autopsy listed rapid and traumatic blood loss from multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death and noted no evidence of close-range fire.

The apartment building had also been struck by gunfire. The homicide was Peoria’s twelfth that year. Investigators followed leads and tips in the months afterward, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone has information that could help identify who fired into the Harrison Homes apartment that night, please come forward.
