Jeffrey S. LaLond, 46, was shot and killed on January 6, 2017, as he exited his car in his parents’ garage in Winthrop Harbor, Illinois. He was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the back of his head and was pronounced dead at Vista East Hospital. His mother, Pat LaLond, was the first to reach the scene after hearing the shots and reported seeing a person dressed in black fleeing the garage.

LaLond was born February 23, 1970, in Waukegan and worked about 25 years as a chemical operator, most recently at Ivanhoe Industries in Zion. He was a father of seven and had been living with his parents after a divorce. The Winthrop Harbor Police Department and the Lake County Major Crime Task Force have investigated extensively but report few leads and an unclear motive. A $15,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest.

Did anyone in Winthrop Harbor see or hear anything that night that could help bring justice for Jeffrey?
