Jovan DuBose, 23, was shot and killed on December 11, 2017, in the Walmart parking lot at 3900 Fountain Square Place in Waukegan, Illinois. The shooting and a related traffic collision were reported by multiple 9-1-1 callers around 6:00 p.m. Officers found DuBose on the east side of the lot; CPR was attempted but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Lake County Coroner’s Office listed a gunshot wound as the cause of death, with toxicology pending at that time.

Investigators described the incident as isolated and said there was no ongoing threat to the community. Police later linked the shooting to an illegal drug sale that occurred in the parking lot. Several arrests followed: Octavis Jones, 21, and Shajuan Garrett, 18, were booked on December 15, 2017, each charged with First Degree Murder and held on $3 million bond; Gerard Wade, 22, was arrested December 16 and held on $5 million bond; an arrest warrant was issued for Rashaan Wade, 20, who was later arrested on January 8, 2018. Authorities said the firearm used had not been recovered and withheld specifics about each person’s level of participation. Detectives continued reviewing security footage and asking the public to call the Waukegan Police tip line with information.

Did anyone see activity in the Walmart lot that evening or have information about the events leading up to the shooting?
