Ray Alan Adams, 42, of West Frankfort, Illinois, was killed in a shooting that erupted the night of July 28, 2015, at a small house at 406 North Madison Street. Officers responding to 911 calls arrived to active gunfire and found two people already beyond saving; Coroner Marty Leffler pronounced Adams dead at the scene. The violence began around 10 p.m.; Adams’s death was formally recorded just after midnight, at 12:08 a.m., listed as July 29, 2015.

Witnesses identified the gunman as 32-year-old Harley Matthew Wilder, also known as Matthew Wilder. Police reported Wilder was found in the house with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head; he died at the scene. Two others — one adult and one juvenile — were wounded and taken to hospital. Investigators processed a home littered with spent rounds as they worked to reconstruct how the evening turned deadly.
