Kedron Murphy, a 32-year-old African American man from Peoria, Illinois, was shot and killed on January 12, 2019. His body was found in the backyard of a home on Marquette near Westmoreland in the early morning; he had been shot five times and was pronounced dead at 6:30 a.m.

His death was one of a record 25 homicides in Peoria in 2019, a year the city called its deadliest in over three decades. The majority of those killings were gun-related, and local efforts such as focused deterrence strategies were being used to address the spike in violence amid wider socio-economic challenges.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified in Murphy’s killing, and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone with information about that neighborhood or that morning have details that could help investigators?
