John Laprice Morgan, a 26-year-old African American man, was shot to death on July 10, 2017, in the parking lot of the West Lake Apartments on the south side of Springfield, Illinois. He was pronounced dead at St. John’s Hospital shortly after the shooting.

Investigators identified Kortez Brown-Joiner, then 24, as the lone gunman. Brown-Joiner had been a former friend of Morgan’s and investigators say he shot Morgan hoping to collect payment from another person who was upset with the victim. The Springfield Police Department led the investigation into the killing.

Few personal details about Morgan appear in reports beyond his age and the location of the shooting. Does anyone who knew John or who was in that neighborhood on July 10, 2017, have information that could add to the record?
