CAHOKIA HEIGHTS, Ill. – The body of a missing 19-year-old was found, shot Saturday, in an abandoned home. This discovery came days after Daniel Nunn’s family reported him missing.
The Major Case Squad is working from the Cahokia Heights Police Department on this investigation. As of now, no suspects are in custody.
Detectives could be seen over the weekend canvassing the neighborhood where the body was found. It was discovered in a home the near the intersection of Melvin Drive and Lazarcheff Drive. Investigators believe he was shot at that location and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Nunn’s family reported him missing on March 18th to the Washington Park Police Department. People who live in the area where Nunn’s body was found say there are way too many abandoned homes in that neighborhood. This is something they want to see changed and plan to highlight at an upcoming town hall meeting.
