Lanair Jones-Sullivan, a 22-year-old African American male, was shot and killed on September 27, 2016, in Rockford, Illinois. The shooting took place in the Blackhawk Public Housing complex on the 1400 block of Birch Court. Jones-Sullivan was standing outside when a car drove by and shots were fired; he suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including to the head and torso, and died at Rockford Memorial Hospital that night.

Investigators determined the attack was not random. Jones-Sullivan had recently been released from jail after a January 2014 arrest for unlawful use of a firearm, no FOID card, and contempt of court, and authorities believe he was targeted. Witnesses reported the suspects fled in a red Impala. One man, identified as a 23-year-old from Rockford, was charged in connection with the killing; court proceedings were underway and the victim’s mother delivered an emotional impact statement in court.

Does anyone in Rockford remember seeing a red Impala in the Blackhawk complex on September 27, 2016, or have information about who targeted Lanair Jones-Sullivan?
