Jeffery Scott Montgomery, a 50-year-old white man from Fairfield, Illinois, was shot to death at his home on December 5, 2015. The Wayne County Coroner, Jimmy Taylor, determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest from a small-caliber handgun and reported Montgomery died at the scene.

The investigation led to the arrest of a 53-year-old friend, William D. Johnson (known as Bill), who was taken into custody soon after the incident and charged with Montgomery’s murder. The two men were involved in an altercation at Montgomery’s residence when the shooting occurred; Johnson later pleaded guilty and was convicted and sentenced for the killing.

Anyone who knew Jeffery, William, or the circumstances surrounding the December 5, 2015 incident in Fairfield is asked to share what they remember.
