Cyrus Johnson was 19 when he was found dead on November 2, 2014, in Ford Heights, Illinois. He was discovered inside a white van alongside 17-year-old Ephram Jones; both young men suffered multiple gunshot wounds and the Cook County medical examiner ruled their deaths homicides due to multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators treated the double homicide as likely gang- and drug-related. Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said the killings had implications of feuds and gang involvement, and authorities believed the slayings were connected to another double homicide that same weekend in Ford Heights, in which cousins Ashley Hudson, 21, and Mchezo McMillian, 38, were killed.

A 22-year-old, Ladarius Harris, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and was held on $3 million bond after being identified as the shooter. The community increased patrols while the investigation continued and authorities sought additional information and suspects.

If anyone in Ford Heights at the time has information about Cyrus Johnson, Ephram Jones, or the events that weekend, please share what you know.
