Steven Alexander Jr., an 18-year-old Black male, was shot and killed shortly after 1 a.m. on June 10, 2018, during a large gathering outside an apartment complex in the 1200 block of Orchard Street in Bloomington, Illinois. Coroner Kathy Davis later identified him and reported the cause of death as gunshot wounds. The same incident also killed 20-year-old Taneshiea Brown; two other people, Kenleia Sims and Tyree Jones, were wounded and survived.

Detectives said they faced limited cooperation from the crowd but compiled witness accounts and other evidence that led them to a suspect. Police arrested 29-year-old Hammet Brown in Chicago on June 26–27, 2018, and returned him to McLean County on multiple counts including six counts of first-degree murder and charges related to the wounded victims. In February 2021 a jury convicted Hammet Brown of first-degree murder for the killings of Steven Alexander Jr. and Taneshiea Brown and of attempted murder for the two surviving victims; a judge sentenced him to life in prison that summer.

Steven Alexander Jr. is remembered as a teenager whose life was cut short on a summer night that turned violent. If anyone has information about that June 10, 2018 Orchard Street gathering, please come forward.
