Justin A. Kapoor, 27, was fatally shot while inside a vehicle in Chicago’s Grand Boulevard neighborhood on July 20, 2018. Born February 19, 1991, in Danville, Illinois, he was raised in Hoopeston by his grandmother Helen Lyons Wheeler and his aunt and uncle Cathy and Gary Brown.

Reports say Justin was with friends when he was shot multiple times in what investigators believed was a targeted attack. Witnesses described a vehicle speeding away from the scene. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. The Chicago Police Department opened an extensive investigation and later identified several suspects and made arrests, but the case encountered challenges including limited concrete evidence and uncooperative witnesses, and the legal process involved multiple hearings and motions.

Anyone who knew Justin, his movements that night, or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
