A series of homicides in Joliet, Illinois, has led to a manhunt for 23-year-old suspect Romeo Nance, who is considered armed and dangerous. Police discovered multiple fatalities in two homes on West Acres Road, with a total of seven individuals shot to death. The Will County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incidents, which they believe are connected to the Joliet homicide investigations. Following the tragedy, Joliet Police Chief William Evans provided updates on the situation. In a standoff with US Marshals in Texas, Nance died from a self-inflicted gunshot. The Will County Coroner’s Office has released the identities of most of the victims, including Christine Esters, 38; Tamaeka Nance, 47; William Esters II, 35; Joshua Nance, 31; Alexandria Nance, 20; and two unidentified teenage girls, ages 14 and 16.
