Illinois police confirm 7 dead as manhunt continues for suspect involved in series of fatal shootings
An investigation and manhunt are underway after multiple people were found dead in two homes in Illinois on Monday afternoon, according to the Joliet Police Department.
During a press conference Monday evening, police said the seven people were found shot to death.
Joliet Police Detectives are currently seeking the whereabouts of Romeo Nance, 23, who is believed to be driving a red Toyota Camry with the license plate number Q730412.
Police believe that Nance knew the victims and that they were relatives.

“In my 29 years on the force, this is the worst crime scene I’ve ever been associated with,” police told local reporters during the press conference.
Detectives stated it is an active investigation and that Nance should be regarded as armed and dangerous.
The identities of those victims have yet to be released.

Nance is also wanted in connection to several other shootings.
Deputies said just before 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, they were called to an apartment complex where they found a man bleeding from the head from an apparent gunshot wound. Deputies told WGN 9 that the victim later died.
The victim was later identified as Toyosi Bakare, 28, who was originally from Nigeria and had been living in the U.S. for nearly three years, WGN 9 reported.
According to deputies, about ten minutes before the fatal shooting, a 42-year-old man was shot in the leg and sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Authorities stated the victims in Sunday’s shootings are not connected to one another and appear to be random in nature.
Officials said the plate numbers on the vehicle that authorities believe Nance is driving match the vehicle spotted near both shooting scenes on Sunday.
According to the Patch and court records, Nance was charged about a year ago after he tried to shoot a woman multiple times. Police found him near his home and arrested him after a brief struggle with officers.

Anyone with information regarding Nance and the vehicle is encouraged to contact the Joliet Police Department.

3 Isaiah Stewart Trade Packages That Would Make Sense for Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons have put Isaiah Stewart on the trade block with multiple offers swirling around the ever-changing rumor mill.
Several teams would benefit from having Stewart, who averaged 10 points, five rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game last season, on a solid 55% from the floor. However, despite linking up well with Jalen Duren, Stewart earning a total of $30 million over the next two years simply doesn’t fit with their future outlook.
Stewart has been linked to the blockbuster three-team trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo; however, if we set that aside, who else could use his talents ahead of the upcoming season?
Stewart embracing the north?
A possible swap involving the Toronto Raptors could be on the cards. The Raptors have been desperate for frontcourt depth, and the Pistons could definitely use more playmaking and shooting options on their roster.
For Detroit, trading Stewart for youngsters Gradey Dick and Jamal Shead makes perfect sense, with the Pistons able to mould them into backups for Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson.
While Shead provided relief for Immanuel Quickley, Dick fell out of the rotation and will be eager for a second chance in the Motor City.
Bringing a much-needed wing player to Detroit, via Cleveland
The Cleveland Cavaliers could bring a talented wing player to Detroit in the shape of Max Strus, whose presence would really help the Pistons.
What they’re short on is two-way wings who can ease the pressure off their stars, and Strus can fit perfectly into that gaping hole.
Beyond his floor-spacing ability, he can also create offense by attacking closeouts, addressing another area where Detroit has struggled.
Look no further than their playoff meeting, which the Cavs won with Strus averaging around 10 points per game in the series, capped with a 20-point showing off the bench in Game 5 that helped swing momentum in the Cavaliers’ favor.
Stewart’s salary and defense helps Denver
One issue that plagued the Denver Nuggets this season was their rim protection, and defense in the paint.
With Stewart, who posted just under two blocks per game last season, his defensive style would really help the Nuggets, but he would be in a similar position to the one he is currently in Detroit: A backup to Nikola Jokic.
Why does this move make sense for both parties? Well, look no further than the money involved. If Denver shipped Cameron Johnson and Christian Braun, who are both on the trade block, it would save the Nuggets money and give Detroit two strong players with championship pedigree.
Stewart is under contract for $15 million in 2026-27, with a team option for the same amount in 2027-28, bringing his total value to $30 million. Johnson’s set to make $23 million, and Braun’s is on $21.5 million. This works better for Denver than it would for the Pistons, but having Johnson and Braun only boosts Detroit’s championship credentials.
