Authorities are seeking 18-year-old Robbie M. Patton of Champaign in connection with the shooting on E. Green Street in the Campustown neighborhood, that left one person dead and three others injured.

A fatal shooting in Champaign’s Campustown neighborhood has shaken the nearby University of Illinois campus, as well as the hospital where the victim was expected to start work this week.

Events in east-central Illinois on Sunday, September 11th, will remember the victims of the 2001 Sept. 11th attacks, as well as the firefighters and police who came to rescue them, sometimes at the cost of their own lives.

The Champaign City Council has taken the initial step towards providing police body cameras for all city officers.  Members unanimously endorsed providing the cameras for 125 officers in Tuesday’s study session, with a final contract expected in 4 to 6 weeks. Police Chief Anthony Cobb says the cameras increase accountability, and make things safer for both the officer and the public.

The city of Champaign Wednesday released two letters citing internal investigations regarding Officer Matt Rush.  One cites Rush's 'disciplinary history and judgment in crisis situations', while the other documents the officer's alleged behavior in a local bar in late February.  He's been the subject of four excessive force lawsuits, three of them resulting in $320-thousand in settlements.
