Toyosi I. Bakare, 28, a Nigerian-born man who had lived in Joliet, Illinois, for about three years, was fatally shot on January 21, 2023. He suffered a gunshot wound to the head at the Pheasant Run Apartments in unincorporated Joliet Township and later died at St. Joseph Hospital in Joliet. The shooting was one of several violent incidents that day; earlier a man was shot in the leg on Davis Street, and the same red Toyota Camry linked to those shootings was tied to the events.

Authorities identified Romeo Nance as the suspect connected to the string of shootings. Nance also fatally shot multiple members of his own family that day and later was found dead by suicide in Texas. Ballistics testing determined the 9mm handgun Nance used to kill himself was the same weapon used to kill Bakare. In a later charging development, 24-year-old Jon Hansen of Shorewood was arrested and charged with aiding Nance in Bakare’s killing and in the non-fatal shooting; Hansen allegedly confessed to being with Nance and to disposing of the gun in the DuPage River.

Are there witnesses or information about Bakare’s activities at the Pheasant Run Apartments on January 21 that could help clarify what happened?
