SjonTre Thompson, 22, was shot to death on August 23, 2015, in Joliet, Illinois. He was found early that Sunday morning sitting in a car on Englewood Avenue with a 28-year-old woman when gunmen riddled the vehicle with bullets. Thompson suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and both legs and was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, where he was pronounced dead; the woman was hit in the leg and survived.

Investigators noted Thompson was the brother of Sjolante Crowder, who was serving a life sentence for a 2012 double homicide, a connection that raised questions about motive and possible gang links. Less than 48 hours before Thompson’s killing, another Joliet man, Shador Jenkins, was gunned down nearby, drawing attention to a cluster of recent shootings in the area. Authorities arrested 24-year-old Lonnie Pinnick in connection with Thompson’s slaying and the wounding of the woman, and charges were filed.

Are there readers who knew SjonTre or who have information about the August 23 shooting?
