Isiah K. Scott was 19 when he was shot and killed on March 12, 2019, in Maywood, Illinois. The shooting occurred around 8 p.m. after a fight in the 1100 block of Madison Street; Scott was shot in the back and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at Loyola University Medical Center. The Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from the gunshot wound to the back.

A press conference was held outside the Family Dollar at the shooting site where activist Father Michael Pfleger stood with Scott’s mother, Kisha Stansberry, to announce a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. On May 21, 2021, Maywood police arrested 20-year-old Anthony Tillis and charged him with first-degree murder; he was expected to appear in bond court the next day. No connection between the reward and the arrest was stated.

If anyone knew Isiah, witnessed the March 12 fight, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known with Maywood police.
