Javonne Harris, a 22-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on March 9, 2018, at the FasMart convenience store in the 400 block of South Grand Avenue East in Springfield, Illinois. He was pronounced dead at St. John’s Hospital shortly after the shooting. The shooting followed a confrontation at the store that escalated into violence.

Springfield resident Keshon L. McClinton, 23 at the time of the case, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. During the trial prosecutors said McClinton pulled out a firearm and shot Harris; the defense sought to mitigate the charges. In April 2023 McClinton was found guilty and later sentenced by Circuit Judge John Madonia to 45 years in prison, with parole eligibility after 20 years because of his age at the time of the crime.

The trial also included a bench warrant for Donatello Harper after he failed to appear when subpoenaed to testify. Does anyone have information about Harris, the FasMart, or witnesses who were there that night?
