Jerrimic Booker, 43, was shot and killed in Peoria, Illinois, and died at 3:11 a.m. on December 26, 2018, at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center. Known by the nickname Sherian, he was born April 14, 1975, and is survived by his mother Nina Spraggs (Booker), four sons, three daughters, a brother, and four grandchildren. He was found dead on the upper floor of a building in Peoria’s North Valley that was being used as a club.

The shooting was treated as a homicide and led to the arrest of 32-year-old Lovell T. Eggleston, who was charged with first-degree murder. Eggleston went to trial in Peoria County Circuit Court; the jury returned a not guilty verdict on March 26, 2021, and a related weapons charge was dropped, leaving Booker’s killing without a conviction.

Anyone who knew Jerrimic, was at the North Valley club that night, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
