Martavius Tyrese Tay Tay Lewers was 15 when he was killed by a bullet that entered a second-floor room through a window on July 28, 2015, in Rockford, Illinois. He was in a space described as a studio where youths made rap music and hung out; the shooting happened shortly before 10:10 p.m. near West State Street and Day Avenue. Family members believe Martavius was not the intended target.

Martavius, born August 17, 1999, attended Auburn High School and belonged to Logos International, singing in the church choir and focusing on his studies. A candlelight vigil drew nearly 70 people; relatives and friends remembered him as kind and pleaded with local parents to keep kids in school, church, off social media attacks, and home by curfew. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone in Rockford know Martavius or see activity near West State Street and Day Avenue that night?
