Three people were found shot to death inside a Springfield home on October 9, 2025. The Sangamon County Coroner identified the victims as 21-year-old Devione Brady, 22-year-old Mhynesha Day, and nine-year-old Cash Russell; preliminary autopsy findings attributed all three deaths to gunshot wounds. The scene was a residence in the 3000 block of Hoover Avenue where detectives obtained a search warrant and called in Illinois State Police Crime Scene Investigators to process evidence.

Information developed at the Hoover Avenue scene led investigators to execute a second search warrant at a nearby apartment complex. A red SUV recovered on October 10 near Governor and MacArthur was towed for examination after two women found in the vehicle were questioned and released. The Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office later said Brady was not a resident of the Hoover Avenue home and had no known affiliation with its occupants; detectives continued to analyze evidence to determine why he was there and what role, if any, he had in the events that preceded the shooting. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and authorities asked the public for tips.

If anyone knew Devione Brady or has information about the Hoover Avenue shooting, please contact Crime Stoppers with any leads.
