Dameon Anderson, a 27-year-old African American man from Joliet, Illinois, was shot and killed in the early hours of May 4, 2014. Joliet police responded to reports of shots fired on Mississippi Avenue and found several people fleeing; after detaining some of them officers were told someone in the group had been shot. Anderson was located wounded in an alley behind a home on Mississippi Avenue, taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, and pronounced dead at 3:42 a.m. The Will County Coroner’s Office listed a gunshot wound to the chest as the cause of death and the case was classified as a homicide.

Police said a person of interest was taken into custody on unrelated charges and later one individual was arrested in connection with the shooting; that person had been seen running from the scene and was found armed with a handgun. Authorities executed a search warrant at the residence where the shooting occurred and interviewed witnesses. The motive remained unclear, and police indicated Anderson likely knew his assailant.

Did anyone in the Joliet area have information about Anderson, his movements that night, or the people seen running from the scene?
