Martez Taylor, a 27-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on July 21, 2018, in Urbana, Illinois. The shooting occurred after a fight at a party near Florida Avenue and Curtiss Drive; police say Taylor was sitting in a car when he was shot. He was taken to Carle Foundation Hospital and pronounced dead.

Detectives arrested 29-year-old Keith Campbell in May 2021 on a warrant issued shortly after the 2018 incident. Prosecutors charged Campbell with Taylor’s murder, alleging he shot Taylor in the car following the altercation. An Urbana jury in October 2022 found Campbell not guilty of first-degree murder, concluding the evidence did not prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and he was released.

The acquittal left outstanding questions about who was responsible for Taylor’s death and how events at the party led to the shooting. Does anyone have information about the July 21, 2018 party or the people who were there that night?
