A man named Damen D. McKenzie, 47 years old, was discovered dead from gunshot wounds on Tuesday in Crest Hill. This information was provided by the Will County Coroner’s Office.

cops responded to a report of shots fired at approximately one o’clock on Tuesday afternoon in the 1100 block of Elizabeth Court, according to the police. McKenzie, who was from Crest Hill, was discovered shot inside a vehicle when cops responded to the allegation.

In spite of the fact that police stated on Tuesday that McKenzie was shot, the coroner did not provide a cause of death. However, they did state that McKenzie’s death was “an apparent homicide.” The investigation into the case is being conducted by the Will-Grundy Major Crimes Task Force.

In a little more than three weeks, this is the second fatal shooting that has occurred on the same block of Elizabeth Court over the same time period. On November 25, a man was discovered shot many times and lying on the ground there. He had multiple wounds. After being transferred to St. Joe’s hospital, the man, who was later determined to be Uarl Hunter, who was 31 years old, succumbed to his injuries and passed away.

As was the case with Hunter’s death in November, the police have stated that they believe the slaying that occurred on Tuesday was premeditated and “not a random threat to the community.”
