Donna Romine, 64, was found dead inside her Springfield, Illinois, home in the 3100 block of West Aire Drive after deputies carried out a welfare check on April 27, 2023. The Sangamon County Coroner determined she died from a single gunshot wound and the death was treated as suspicious; the Sheriff’s Office and Coroner opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators quickly identified a family member, Donna’s son Richard D. Romine, 34, as a person of interest. Detectives located him shortly after midnight on April 28 and attempted a traffic stop; he fled briefly before stopping, discarded an AR-15 from the vehicle, and was taken into custody after a medical event required hospital transport. He was arraigned May 3, 2023, on multiple charges including three counts of first-degree murder, concealment of a homicidal death, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and aggravated fleeing and eluding; bond was set at $2 million and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 11, 2023.

What information can anyone add about Donna’s life or movements in Springfield in the days before April 27, 2023?
