Eighteen-year-old Jwan Lamon was shot multiple times on April 9, 2020. He was from Janesville, Wisconsin; the shooting occurred in the 1500 block of Fischer Road in South Beloit, Illinois. His body was not found until the evening of April 14, when police located a deceased male in the 1600 block of Royce Avenue in Beloit, Wisconsin.

An autopsy by the Rock County Coroner’s Office determined cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds and ruled the manner of death a homicide. Investigators concluded evidence suggested the killing did not occur where the body was discovered, prompting a joint inquiry with the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Detective Bureau.

Detectives identified 28-year-old Davonte L. Hyler of Beloit as a suspect. Hyler was already jailed on an unrelated felony firearm charge when he was served on July 1, 2020 with a warrant in Lamon’s killing; the Winnebago County State’s Attorney authorized six counts of First Degree Murder. If anyone knew Jwan or has information about what happened that week in April 2020, please come forward.
