Johan Lil John-Dooney Rowe Jr., a 20-year-old from Kankakee, Illinois, was fatally shot on October 26, 2014, after an argument near a park where a group of people had been gathered. Reports say Johan and Edgar Watkins had quarreled about ten days earlier, and Watkins had brandished a firearm during that prior incident. On the day Johan was killed, he left the group and Watkins followed him and shot him.

Edgar Watkins, 29, was arrested and charged in the killing. He denied firing the shot, instead claiming someone else carried out a drive-by shooting, but prosecutors pointed to Watkins’s earlier conflicts with Johan and past threats involving a gun. Watkins was held on $1 million bond; later court action resulted in a conviction and a 20-year prison sentence, which Johan’s family and friends said provided some closure.

Did anyone in the Kankakee area see Johan or the group near the park on October 26, 2014, or have information about tensions between Johan and Watkins?
