CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — The Champaign Police Department and Champaign County Crime Stoppers are asking the public for tips that could lead to an arrest in a murder investigation that’s gone cold.

The murder happened the night of October 4, 2022, during a birthday party near Third Street and Beardsley Avenue. Investigators determined that Rashaud Weatherall, 25 of Danville, was attending the party and around 5:47 p.m., he was standing near the street with two other men.

It was at that time that a car drove past them and someone inside opened fire. All three men were hit.

Weatherall’s two companions were able to go to the hospital on their own, where they were treated and released. Weatherall, who had been shot multiple times, was still at the scene when officers responded.

Despite officers’ efforts to save his life, Weatherall died 20 minutes later at the hospital.

Champaign Police officials said they’ve followed multiple leads over the last two years, but they have not identified Weatherall’s killer(s). They are again asking for help from the public in solving his murder.

Anyone who has information on this crime is asked to contact Champaign County Crime Stoppers and submit a tip. Tips can be submitted by calling 217-373-8477, visiting Crime Stoppers’ website or using the P3 Tips app.

Any tip submitted to Crime Stoppers is anonymous, and the organization will pay up to $5,000 to a tipster if their information leads to an arrest for murder.
