Marlone J. Dishman was a 16-year-old sophomore at Eisenhower High School who died after a shooting in Decatur, Illinois, on the evening of Monday, July 13, 2026. Known to family as Marion, he had recently started his first job filling online orders at a local Walmart and enjoyed cooking, sleeping in, and spending time with his family.

Police were called shortly after 9:30 p.m. to a residence in the 100 block of South Westdale Avenue. Officers found Marlone with a gunshot wound and an 18-year-old man with a facial laceration; both were taken to Decatur Memorial Hospital. The 18-year-old was treated and released, while Marlone later died at the hospital. Detectives say they believe the shooting was targeted and that there is no known ongoing threat to the community. The Criminal Investigations Division processed the scene, interviewed witnesses, and sought video surveillance; no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in Decatur know Marlone, his routines, or who might have been involved that night?
