Kimberly M. George, a 31-year-old woman from Georgetown, Illinois, was shot and killed at her home in the Terrace Acres Mobile Home Park along Mill Road on March 26, 2018. Police responding to reports of shots fired at about 6:20 a.m. found Kimberly dead and a young man, Eric Stark, with multiple gunshot wounds; Eric was taken to hospital for surgery and later reported in stable condition. Children were in the residence during the shooting but were not physically harmed and were placed with other family members.

Investigators say Kimberly had been living with Eric Stark; the couple had two children together and Kimberly had a third child from a previous relationship. Police, the Illinois State Police Crime Scene Officer and the Vermilion County Coroner processed the mobile home and nearby areas, but no immediate motive was released at the time. Michael Long of Danville was charged in Kimberly’s murder; Long admitted to shooting Kimberly and fled the scene, and Laura Johnson was identified as a co-defendant who had gone to the residence and had a disagreement with Kimberly.
