Antoinne Scott, a 32-year-old African American man from Springfield, Illinois, was shot and killed inside his East Brown Street residence in the early hours of November 27, 2015. Intruders forced their way into the home at about 3:30 a.m.; shots were fired and Scott was found inside with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at 4:16 a.m. at HSHS St. John’s Hospital and an autopsy attributed his death to a gunshot wound consistent with homicide.

Investigators arrested two men in connection with the incident: 27-year-old Cordaro D. Morton and 22-year-old Charles T. Rice. Both were charged with home invasion and armed robbery, and Morton faced a first-degree murder charge; Morton was held on a two million dollar bond and Rice on a five hundred thousand dollar bond. Morton was receiving medical treatment for injuries sustained during the confrontation at the time of arrest. The shooting was reported as not appearing linked to other ongoing investigations.

Does anyone have information about the break-in or the confrontation that led to Scott’s death?
