GALESBURG — A 17-year-old from Peoria died Wednesday following a gunshot wound, according to Galesburg police.
A Peoria man, 18, is now in custody, arrested on burglary and felony murder charges connected to the case, though he was not arrested on suspicion of being the trigger man.
After a call at 10:22 p.m., police responded to Galesburg Guns and Ammo on South Henderson Street on Wednesday in response to a disturbance there involving gunshots. When officers arrived, they determined that several suspects had broken into the business.
Police Chief Russ Idle said they used a large rock or cinder block to break in and that investigation has shown there were four or five individuals attempting the burglary.
