Tyrone Portis, a 17-year-old student at Lockport High School who had started classes at Joliet Junior College and worked at Walmart, was killed in Joliet on June 9, 2019. Known as TJ, he was in a car on the city’s west side in the 700 block of East Palladium Drive when a gunman in another vehicle opened fire. Tyrone sustained multiple gunshot wounds and died shortly after 3 a.m.

A 17-year-old girl who was also in the car was shot and seriously injured; she was reported in stable condition at St. Joe’s hospital. The Joliet Police Department launched a homicide investigation and sought help from the public, but no arrests were announced immediately after the shooting. Tyrone’s family and friends remembered him as bright and ambitious.
