On June 27, 2020, 29-year-old Jamez Elem was shot and killed during a large gathering at a rented house on Picton Road in Roselle, Illinois. More than 60 rounds were fired in the altercation; four other people were wounded. Police found Elem deceased from gunfire and the DuPage County Coroner later identified him. Another shooting victim was located at Bloomingdale Road and Lake Street in Bloomingdale.

Investigators say the house had been rented through short-term platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo, and that many attendees came from Chicago’s Garfield Park neighborhood. Early accounts indicate one person fired a handgun inside the home and others then began shooting. The Roselle Police Department, the Metropolitan Emergency Response & Investigation Team and forensic units have been collecting physical evidence and following leads.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified, and detectives are working to separate rumor from verified information while protecting victims. If anyone attended that gathering or has information about who fired shots that night, please come forward.
