Ike King was 18 when he was shot and killed on September 13, 2014, at River Oaks Mall in Calumet City, Illinois. According to authorities, King had been at a McDonald’s with a roll of about $300 when a group of six people—four teens and two others—spotted him and followed him with the intent to rob him. King and a friend were attacked by three members of the group; two more teens then joined the assault as the pair tried to flee toward an east mall entrance.

As King neared a closed Sears entrance he was shot in the back and later pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn; an autopsy ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the back. Investigators identified the group vehicle on surveillance and arrested five of the six suspects: Dana Hayes, 18, of Sauk Village, was charged with murder and attempted robbery; Martreli Smith, 18, faced obstruction and aiding a fugitive charges; and two 17-year-olds, including the suspected shooter, were charged with first-degree murder and attempted robbery (their names were not released). One suspect remained at large during the investigation.

Did anyone in the River Oaks Mall area on September 13, 2014, see the group or the Jeep that fled after the shooting?
