Michael Krus, 23, of Peoria was found with a gunshot wound on the morning of March 8, 2017 on the 1200 block of Westmoreland after police responded to a Shot Spotter alert. He was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead. Michael, born March 25, 1993, was described as someone who enjoyed the outdoors, basketball, swimming and playing Xbox, and is survived by his mother Wilma Krus, brother Sharome Krus, sister Heather Krus and other family and friends.

The investigation led to the arrest of 23-year-old Eddie T. Williams, who was taken into custody on March 9, 2017 and charged with First Degree Murder. The Peoria Community Against Violence held a Stand Down for Peace meeting for Michael’s family and friends in the aftermath.

Did anyone in the community have information about Michael’s activities or movements in early March 2017 that could help clarify what happened?
