On the morning of September 19, 2013, 29-year-old James Anthony Irby Sr. and his 24-year-old girlfriend, KeiAmber Beard, were shot and killed inside their Peoria, Illinois home on West Margaret Avenue. The couple was found shortly after 3 a.m.; the Peoria County Coroner’s Office determined both died of multiple gunshot wounds. Beard was reported to have been eight to nine weeks pregnant at the time.

Two of Irby’s children were in the house during the attack but were found unharmed. Authorities described the killings as a double homicide resulting from a home invasion and said the victims may have known their assailant or assailants, suggesting a targeted attack. As of the latest public update, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests announced, and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew James or KeiAmber, saw suspicious activity near West Margaret Avenue in Peoria on September 19, 2013, or has information that could help, please share what you know with investigators.
