Renese Donte Riley, a 30-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on December 30, 2018, in Urbana, Illinois, after a dispute about living arrangements at an apartment. Riley was pronounced dead at a hospital shortly after the shooting, which happened outside an Urbana apartment building.
Urbana police say 27-year-old Dangelis Michael Chambers fatally shot Riley. Chambers was arrested at a restaurant in Savoy where he worked and held on $1 million bail. He was charged with four felony counts of first-degree murder and one felony count of possession or use of a firearm by a felon; he requested a public defender and the case proceeded through multiple court appearances.
The investigation identified the disagreement over living arrangements as the primary catalyst for the incident. Did anyone in the community have information about the apartment, the dispute, or either man that could shed light on what happened?
