Dayquan Wiley was a 17-year-old Black male from Springfield, Illinois, who died after being found with multiple gunshot wounds inside a bedroom of a home in the 1800 block of South 11th Street on the afternoon of August 4, 2024. Officers responded to a shots-fired call; he was taken to HSHS St. John’s Hospital and pronounced deceased at 3:33 p.m. The Sangamon County Coroner’s preliminary autopsy confirmed he died from his injuries.

Two other teenagers were charged in connection with the killing. A 15-year-old boy was arrested in Wisconsin by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and faced first-degree murder and home invasion charges in juvenile court, with authorities seeking a transfer to adult court. The second suspect, 17-year-old Larryoun Taylor, was indicted by a Sangamon County grand jury, charged as an adult with three counts of first-degree murder and home invasion, and pleaded not guilty.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall activity around South 11th Street on August 4, 2024?
