Shador M. Jenkins, 28, was shot and killed on August 21, 2015, on Wallace Street near Center Street in Joliet, Illinois. The encounter began after a dispute between two young women escalated into a larger argument involving a group of men. During the altercation Jenkins, who was armed with a steak knife, reportedly rushed at 22-year-old Dwayne Johnson. Johnson fired and Jenkins was later pronounced dead at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center.

Police described a domestic involvement and a family relationship between Jenkins and Johnson. The Joliet Police Chief, Brian Benton, said the shooting appeared to be justified because Jenkins had brandished a weapon and posed a threat to Johnson. Johnson was jailed on a charge of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon while prosecutors planned to review the case for any additional charges.

This shooting occurred during a violent weekend in Joliet; another man, SjonTre Thompson, was shot and killed within 48 hours, though details about that death were not yet available. Does anyone have information about the events on Wallace Street that night or about the people involved?
