Treyvontae Ellis, 20, was one of two people killed in a mass shooting at a New Year’s gathering in Kankakee on January 1, 2025. The party, held inside a home on Pierson Parkway with about 50 attendees, broke into chaos when shots were fired around 4 a.m. Multiple victims suffered gunshot wounds; Treyvontae and his 22-year-old brother Quaysean T. Isom were killed and five others, including three women, were wounded but were expected to survive.

Investigators said multiple people fired inside the house and more than 30 rounds were discharged. Officers recovered two firearms outside the residence, detained a teenager hiding by a backyard fence, and found a firearm near where that teenager was apprehended. Anyone who was at the party or has information is asked to contact investigators.
