A fatal shooting at Scooter’s Bar in Danville, Illinois left 30-year-old Tevin J. Patton of Joplin, Missouri dead in the early hours of Saturday, November 29, 2025. Danville officers were called to the bar at 1:26 a.m. for reports of shots fired; emergency responders pronounced Patton dead at the scene. The Vermilion County coroner identified him and said an autopsy would be scheduled.

Minutes after the shooting, police were notified that a second man had arrived at OSF Emergency Room with a gunshot wound. That man, 30-year-old Trevon M. Lake of Danville, was treated for a non-life-threatening injury, then booked at the Public Safety Building. Authorities charged Lake with first-degree murder, unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon, and aggravated discharge of a firearm in connection with Patton’s death.

Investigators pursued other suspects tied to the case. On December 8, 2025, officers located 30-year-old Jontell J. Robinson of Chicago, wanted on an outstanding warrant for first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon. Robinson tried to flee on foot but was taken into custody after a short pursuit.
