On December 2, 2014, 17-year-old Tariq Purnell of Joliet was fatally shot in an ambush in the 400-block of Strong Avenue. The shooting happened about 5:30 p.m. in a driveway; Purnell was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other men were struck — 30-year-old Keon Kelly of Lockport died later at Provena St. Joseph Medical Center, and a third, unidentified man was shot in the backside and taken to Loyola University Medical Center.

Investigators treated the deaths as homicides and conducted autopsies, collected evidence and interviewed witnesses. Authorities said some people came forward but that no substantial leads or arrests had been developed and the motive remained unclear. Family members described Purnell as a good kid who loved his nieces and was not trouble-prone.

Does anyone who lived in the Strong Avenue area or who was in Joliet on December 2, 2014 have information that could help clarify what happened that evening?
