Theodore Jamar Hill, 29, was killed on August 4, 2015, in Danville, Illinois. Known as Teddy, he was born December 9, 1985, in Fort Polk, Louisiana, and grew up in Danville, where he played sports, including football. On August 2, 2015, Hill and his lifelong friend, 28-year-old Zarra Laws Strickland, were shot while riding in a car; their bodies were found two days later in a secluded area west of Danville, each with a gunshot wound to the head.
Authorities arrested 31-year-old Glen T. Torres Jr., formerly of Danville and then of Indianapolis, charging him with first-degree murder. At trial a witness testified they were driving the car when Torres shot Hill and Strickland; the prosecution presented evidence that led to a conviction. The killings deeply affected both families and the Danville community.
If anyone knew Theodore, Zarra, where they traveled that weekend, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
