William F. Dougherty, 33, of Springfield, Illinois, died from a gunshot wound on October 14, 2015. He had been released on parole about a week earlier after serving an eight-year sentence for home invasion. On the night he was shot, two armed men reportedly forced their way into his home and wrestled with him; at least one shot was fired. Dougherty was found on his front porch and taken to HSHS St. John’s Hospital, where he underwent surgery and later died. The city classified this as Springfield’s ninth homicide of 2015.

Police reported that Dougherty said both intruders were armed, and investigators were still working to determine a motive. Two suspects were identified and taken into custody; charges had been reported in connection with the killing.

Did anyone in Springfield know Dougherty or see anything on the night of October 14 that could help the investigation?
