Kamron L. Causey, a 30-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on July 22, 2015, in Peoria, Illinois.

He was a family-oriented individual who cherished spending time with his children and supported them in all their activities. Kamron had a passion for sports and enjoyed playing cards and basketball.
On the night of his death, Kamron was outside his home at 1619 W. Lincoln Ave. when he was shot multiple times in the head. The incident occurred around 10 p.m., and Kamron was pronounced dead at 11:16 p.m. His mother, who was inside the house at the time, heard the gunshots and found him lying in a grassy area next to a driveway shared by the residences at 1617 and 1619 W.
