The family of David Malito, who died in police custody at a Joliet gas station after an encounter caught on bodycam, has filed a lawsuit accusing officers of excessive force, despite the Will County state's attorney clearing them of wrongdoing. The incident, which involved Malito struggling with police and dying from an overdose, occurred shortly after a report highlighting a pattern of excessive force by Joliet police.
Joliet Police are searching for Romeo Nance in connection with the shooting deaths of seven people in two residences, and are also attempting to locate a red Toyota Camry with license plate Q730412 in connection with three separate shootings. The suspect should be considered "armed and dangerous," and anyone who sees the vehicle is urged to call 911 and report its location to law enforcement. The investigation is ongoing, and the area where the shootings occurred remains closed to traffic.
