James Watson was killed at a home in unincorporated Naperville, Illinois, on December 25, 2023. Deputies responded about 3:06 p.m. to a report of a person shot at a residence on the 25W0-100 block of Wood Court and found Watson with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Family members performed first aid and paramedics transported him to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

According to the investigation, Watson had become upset after he could not find his cell phone and was described as increasingly obnoxious; he reportedly slammed a card table on the floor. Kendall Yarborough, 28, a half-brother who was upstairs, shot downward and struck Watson. Authorities recovered a 9mm Sig Sauer P-365X and one spent 9mm casing at the scene. Yarborough was taken into custody at the residence and charged with two counts of first-degree murder; the case is ongoing.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything around that time on Christmas afternoon that could help clarify what happened?
