Police are searching for 23-year-old Romeo Nance, who is believed to be connected to a separate homicide on Sunday.
JOLIET, IL — Six people were found dead on Monday afternoon on Joliet’s west side, authorities confirmed to Patch. The gunshot victims were found at two different homes in the 2200 block of West Acres Road, about a block from the St. Joe’s hospital emergency room.
Police say they are seeking the whereabouts of 23-year-old Romeo Nance in connection with the slayings. Nance, whose address is listed as the 2200 block of West Acres in Joliet records, is believed to be driving a red Toyota Camry with the license plate Q730412 — the same vehicle being sought in connection with a homicide on Sunday.
Joliet Police Sgt. Dwayne English told Patch that investigators believe the slayings are related to another killing at the Pheasant Run Apartments in Joliet Township on Sunday afternoon, as well as a non-fatal shooting in the 200 Block of Davis Street in which a 42-year-old man was shot in the leg.
Police said Nance should be regarded as armed and dangerous.
Victims Found At 2 Homes
Joliet police said West Acres Road was closed between Madison Street and Springfield Avenue as Joliet police are conducting an investigation in the 2200 block of West Acres Road.
Additionally, Madison Street was closed between Glenwood Avenue and Douglas Street. It was expected that this closure would last for a significant amount of time, Joliet police posted on Facebook.
Joliet Patch has learned that Joliet Fire Department and Will County Sheriff’s deputies also responded and that a woman and a man were initially found dead from gunshots around 12:10 p.m. There was also a second scene in the 2200 block of West Acres, where others were discovered dead.
