Andrew Dockery, 26, was fatally shot in a drive-by on the 400 block of Melrose Avenue in Aurora, Illinois, on December 31, 2016. The killing occurred on New Year’s Eve; family and friends remembered him as a loving, loyal person, a father and protective friend whose smile was memorable.

A prayer vigil was held at the shooting site where Reverend Dan Hass urged love and forgiveness. Family members, including his stepmother Luanda Dockery, expressed deep grief; the family suffered another loss when Terrelle Suggs was killed two weeks later. As of January 30, 2017, Aurora Police were still investigating and encouraged anyone with information to contact Aurora Police investigators at 256-5500 or Aurora Area Crime Stoppers at 892-1000. No arrests had been reported and the case remained unsolved.
