DaVid Parks, a 22-year-old African American man, was shot five times and killed on May 31, 2017, outside an apartment building at 702 South Golfcrest in Normal, Illinois. Investigators described the shooting as appearing to be related to a gang dispute. The killing prompted a strong law enforcement response and grief across the community.

Police arrested 22-year-old Daniel Lyons Jr. in connection with the murder and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder. He was held on a $5 million bond as the case moved through the legal process. The prosecution presented evidence linking Lyons to the shooting while the defense challenged witness credibility and the circumstances of the incident.

The family and friends of DaVid Parks mourned his death and the community called for an end to the violence that took his life. If anyone knew DaVid, his whereabouts that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
