PEORIA, Ill. – The victim in what is Peoria’s 10th homicide of the year has been identified.
Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood says preliminary autopsy results on Michael Davis, Jr., 32, affirm he died of multiple gunshot wounds on his body.
Davis died about an hour after Peoria Police were called to West McClure Avenue near Broadway just after 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, for a shots fired call.
Police believe the suspect — Rev Blakes, 41, — fled the scene before officers arrived.
Blakes is considered armed and dangerous, but if you see him, you’re urged to call Peoria Police or Crime Stoppers, or use the Tip 411 app.
