Roosevelt Anderson Jr, a 25-year-old African American man, was found lying in the roadway on the 900 block of Redden Court in Danville, Illinois, on April 24, 2019 after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to Carle Foundation Hospital and died the next day. The shooting occurred during an altercation involving several men that escalated into violence at the Fair Oaks Housing Complex.

Investigators arrested 26-year-old Percy Freeman of Phoenix, Illinois and charged him with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated battery along a public way; Freeman pleaded not guilty and bond was set at $5 million. Authorities say Freeman did not pull the trigger but that his participation in the attack was significant. Prosecutors also identified 24-year-old Denzel Aldridge as the person who shot Anderson; surveillance footage reportedly shows Aldridge and others tracking Anderson through the housing complex before the assault.

Tavares Mitchell and Tariq Wilson were also implicated but were tried separately. Anyone who witnessed the assault or has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
