Andre Booker III, a 19-year-old African American male, was fatally shot on May 31, 2017, while playing basketball at Comer Cox Park in Springfield, Illinois. The shooting was described as retaliatory and linked to the shooting of Sheena Malone the night before; Malone, who was 23 weeks pregnant, survived and her baby was delivered by emergency C-section.

Booker was remembered locally for his athletic ability in football and basketball at Springfield Southeast High School. The investigation identified Rashod D. Postlewaite, 21, as the shooter; he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received a 35-year Illinois Department of Corrections sentence. Ladarius Donald, also 21, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder as the driver and was sentenced to 20 years. Antonio Johnson and Anthony R. Lathan were also charged in connection with the killing and were held in the Sangamon County Jail.

Anyone who knew Andre, was at Comer Cox Park that day, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting is asked to come forward.
