Olumuyiwa Adeniyi, a 45-year-old man from Poplar Grove, Illinois, was shot at a home on the 300 block of Cress Creek Trail on Monday, April 6, 2020. Deputies and first responders arrived in the afternoon and found him with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to MercyHealth Hospital and died later that day.
Investigators identified the victim as the father of the man taken into custody at the scene. Authorities arrested 23-year-old Adebayo Adeniyi immediately after the shooting; he was booked into the Boone County Jail and held without bond. The case was referred to prosecutors as aggravated battery with a firearm, a Class X felony. Neighbors described a quiet residential pocket disrupted by squad cars and detectives as evidence markers were placed at the scene.
