Henry Murphy, a 67-year-old Army veteran and amateur radio operator from Rockford, Illinois, was found dead in his home on Owen Center Road on July 18, 2015. He had been shot, and the house was set on fire afterward in what investigators say was an apparent attempt to conceal the crime. Murphy’s golden retriever was also killed in the incident.

Police arrested 31-year-old Delano Foreman in connection with the case. Foreman was charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery, aggravated cruelty to animals, home invasion, and arson. Prosecutors said Foreman targeted Murphy’s home for financial gain, shot both Murphy and the dog during the robbery, and then set the residence on fire to destroy evidence.

The killing shook the Rockford community. If anyone has information about Henry Murphy, his final days, or the circumstances at Owen Center Road on July 18, 2015, please come forward.
