Darran Durrette, 31, of Peoria, Illinois, was fatally shot on April 12, 2017. A ShotSpotter alert brought police to Harrison Homes around 6:45 p.m., and officers found Durrette on a sidewalk in the 2700 block of West Montana Street with multiple gunshot wounds to his abdomen and pelvis. He was taken to OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, underwent emergency surgery, and was pronounced dead at 4:30 a.m. the following day.

Durrette had a prior criminal history that included misdemeanors for unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, unlawful consumption of liquor, and escape, plus a felony theft charge. In August he faced a charge of endangering a child for leaving a youth alone while he was reportedly at a tavern. In January he allegedly fled a drunken-driving arrest in northwest Iowa, dragging an officer about 25 feet beside a pickup and then driving to Fulton County; O Brien County, Iowa, was planning to extradite him on that matter and he was the subject of a Fulton County CrimeStoppers wanted appeal.

There were no apparent signs of a robbery or struggle at the scene, and Durrette’s family said they did not know why he was in that area at the time.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or who knew Durrette see him in the Harrison Homes area that evening or have information about his movements?
