PRINCETON, ILLINOIS (KWQC) –
Princeton police are searching for a person of interest after a fatal shooting<\/a> that happened Wednesday evening in Princeton, Illinois.
Officials said Davijon Robinson is currently a person of interest. A witness, Tim, said he heard shots while he was outside on the porch with family. The military veteran was familiar with the sound.
\u201cAll of a sudden we heard four cracks and my military training I knew that they weren\u2019t fireworks,\u201d Tim said, \u201cThe fourth round came by my house right in front of the porch, about five feet from my head\u201d.
Tim said he ran after Robinson before he fled out of the neighborhood. After seeing Robinson\u2019s picture on the Princeton police department\u2019s Facebook page, he instantly recognized the face.
\u201cWhen I seen the picture on Facebook, of the suspect, I knew immediately that was him…like I said, I looked him in the eye, as he was running away. I don\u2019t think he expected anybody to come at him but I ran after him and he ran away and got in the car and they took off out of the trailer park, took a left and that\u2019s all I know,\u201d Tim said.
Kewanee Police were notified of the shooting and that the subjects may be en route to Kewanee.
\u201cOfficers observed them and at some point, they tried to get up to get in behind them, and they stopped the car, got out and fled on foot,\u201d said Kewanee Police Chief Troy Ainley.
Other agencies including Illinois State Police and Henry County were called in to assist. Businesses in the area were notified of what was going on. Jackson Watson, an employee at a Kewanee convenience store said he was working when state police came to the store.
\u201cWe didn\u2019t end up closing. Just because like there wasn\u2019t too much of a threat currently but you know, they told us to be wary about what was going on,\u201d Watson said.
Chief Ainley said they\u2019re actively looking for Robinson and that he may not be in the city at this time but officers are continuing to follow any leads in an attempt to locate him.
Princeton police are asking for anyone who has information regarding the incident or where Robinson may be to contact them at 815-872-2351.
