Louis Salazar, an 18-year-old from Peoria, Illinois, was killed in the early morning hours of April 23, 2019, outside the Taft Homes public housing complex. The Peoria County Coroner, Jamie Harwood, reported Salazar died of a single gunshot wound to the chest that caused severe internal hemorrhaging; the autopsy found no defensive wounds or signs of a struggle and the shooting did not appear to be at close range. The caliber of the weapon was not disclosed.

Police were called about 3:02 a.m. after reports of a man down. Officers found Salazar lifeless on the sidewalk and placed at least 27 yellow markers for shell casings, projectile fragments, and other evidence. A 23-year-old male related to Salazar was also seriously but non-life-threateningly injured at a West Armstrong Avenue residence. Investigators believe both shootings happened within the Taft Homes complex and involved moving targets, with gunmen and victims running. No suspects or motive have been identified; the Peoria Police Department is seeking tips.

Did anyone in Peoria see or hear anything around the Taft Homes that morning that could help investigators?
