Stoppers Crime of the
Week - February 28th, 2008
 Hi,
I'm Officer Paula Morrow, Crime Stoppers' Coordinator
for Sangamon and Menard Counties.
This week Crime Stoppers is seeking information on
an attempted First Degree Murder that occurred on Saturday,
February 9, 2008 at approximately 4:30 pm in the 2500
block of Roadrunner. Officers received information that
a victim of a shooting had walked into St. John's Hospital
for treatment. Upon arrival, the officer discovered
the victim being treated for multiple gunshot wounds
to his hand and his head. The investigation led officers
to the 2500 block of Roadrunner where they located a
possible crime scene.
Initial information is that the victim was sitting
in the parking area when the suspect, who was described
as a younger, thin, black male, opened the passenger
side door of the vehicle and produced a handgun, firing
multiple times at the victim. The victim was able to
back out of the parking lot and drive himself to the
hospital, where he was treated for potentially life
threatening injuries.
If you have any information on this crime, you can
remain completely anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers
at 217-788-8427 [1-800-397-2288], submitting
a tip via the internet or use
a cell phone to send a tip. You could get a cash
reward of up to $1000.
Remember Crime Stoppers wants your information, not
your name.
