Darian Alexander Woods, 23, was found dead in his Chandler Street apartment in Collinsville, Illinois on November 19, 2020, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound. Police responded to a reported home invasion at about 8:12 PM and discovered Woods deceased. The Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis assisted the Collinsville Police Department in the investigation.

Investigators named three suspects: George E. Lacey, Adisa J. Smith, and Demandrell T. Davis. All three were charged with multiple counts, including first-degree murder, armed robbery, and home invasion; additional weapons charges were filed against two of the men. The case moved through the courts with active prosecutions and guilty pleas noted for some defendants by mid‑2021.

Darian’s family and friends remembered him as kindhearted and loving. Does anyone have information about Darian, his apartment on Chandler Street, or the events of November 19, 2020 that could help clarify what happened?
