A March 25, 2023 house party at 533 North Johnson Street in Macomb, Illinois, ended in a deadly shooting that left 26-year-old Jerman Beathea of Chicago dead at the scene from gunshot wounds. Macomb Police responded to reports of gunshots at 1:55 a.m.; ten other people were injured, including six Western Illinois University students. Many injuries were described as superficial, and those treated at hospitals or trauma centers are expected to recover.
Investigators have arrested two men in connection with the shooting. Donnel D. Williams, 23, of Macomb, a former Western Illinois University student, faces charges including possession of a ghost gun, 1.5 pounds of cannabis with intent to distribute, and armed violence; he is being held on $500,000 bond and had a preliminary hearing set for April 12. Demond E. Wilson Jr., of Calumet Park, Illinois, was later arrested on a charge of aggravated discharge of a firearm and held on $750,000 bond. Police say evidence was collected at the scene, more arrests may follow, and anyone with information or video should contact CrimeStoppers or email the department.
Does anyone have video or firsthand information from that night that could help investigators?
