Steven Paul Becker, 35, of Fults, Illinois, was found unresponsive in the basement of a house at 107 North Church Street in Waterloo on January 11, 2019. The Monroe County Coroner determined he died of a gunshot wound to the head and noted an additional gunshot wound to the leg. The death was ruled a homicide. Becker was a salesman and maintenance worker at Becker Farm & Industrial Supplies in East St. Louis and is survived by his daughter Makayla Sauer; he enjoyed bike riding, four-wheeling, fishing and was described as deeply religious.

Police were alerted to the scene by a mutual acquaintance of Becker and the house resident, 30-year-old Kyle Roider of Waterloo. Roider was arrested the same night and charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm; he was held in the Monroe County Jail without bail awaiting trial. Roider later testified that he acted in self-defense, and the jury acquitted him after deliberation.

Did anyone who knew Steven or who was in Waterloo around January 11, 2019, see or hear anything that could shed light on what happened that night?
