Keon L. Cooper, 27, was shot multiple times at Hangar 9 in Carbondale, Illinois, on November 3, 2019. The shooting happened in the 500 block of South Illinois Avenue; Cooper was taken by ambulance to Memorial Hospital of Carbondale and pronounced dead there. Carbondale police had responded to a report of shots fired at the scene.

Investigators quickly identified two suspects from Sikeston, Missouri: 21-year-old Tyren Johnson and 24-year-old Olando Sheron. Arrest warrants were issued for both men. Johnson was taken into custody on November 7, 2019, by the Sikeston Department of Public Safety. Sheron fled and evaded capture for an extended period before being located and arrested in Gardena, California, after a multiagency response.

The shooting deeply affected the Carbondale community and involved coordination among several law enforcement agencies. If anyone has information about Keon Cooper, his movements that night, or witnessed activity near Hangar 9 on November 3, 2019, please come forward.
