Anthony Spitzig, 23, of Kankakee, Illinois, was found dead after a fire at an auto repair shop at Harrison Avenue and Locust Street on May 17, 2018. Firefighters arrived about 5:15 a.m.; after putting out the blaze they located Spitzig’s body inside the building. An autopsy showed he had been shot in the head, and investigators concluded the fire was likely set to cover up the killing.

Spitzig worked as the head mechanic at the business. His mother, Peggy Wirtel, described him as a loving family member who loved electronics and car repair. The night before his death he had been working late; his last known communication was with the business owner, who told him to close up the shop. Wirtel said he did not have any known enemies. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the Kankakee area see activity at that repair shop on the night of May 16–17, 2018 or have information that could help identify who set the fire and shot Spitzig?
