Andrew B. Maul, a 36-year-old white man from Jacksonville, Illinois, was shot to death on September 11, 2015, in the parking lot of the Jacksonville Police Department. The shooter was identified as his former father-in-law, Robert H. Gill, then 64, who later set fire to the home of Maul’s mother, Debbie Bartz, and crashed his truck. Gill was arrested after seeking treatment at a Springfield hospital.

Gill was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated residential arson. He pleaded guilty to one count of intentional murder in Maul’s death and received a 45-year prison sentence; he also drew a four-year sentence for the arson charge. Three counts of murder and one count of residential arson were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

The investigation also produced unrelated charges against two of Gill’s family members: Jewell R. Maul, 38, and Joyce E. Gill, 63, were arrested on counts of financial exploitation of a senior citizen, stemming from evidence of a decade-long scheme uncovered during the probe. Andrew was remembered by those who knew him as kind, devoted to his daughters, and interested in ATV racing.

If anyone knew Andrew, his family, or has information about the events surrounding that day, please share what can help.
