More Gunshots At Scene Of Joliet's Unsolved Murder From May

JOLIET — Three months after 25-year-old Tenzell L. Terry of Joliet was gunned down in a hail of gunfire late at night at one of the back parking lots late at The Birches, Joliet police responded to another late night shooting there, this time on Monday night.

According to Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English:

At 11:08 p.m., the officers responded to the 2300 block of White Birch Lane for a report of shots fired. Joliet police discovered four spent shell casings on the ground. Officers were unable to find any victims or property struck by the gunfire after completing a canvass of the area.

White Birch Lane is the location of a large apartment complex off Glenwood Avenue.

On May, Joliet Patch reported that the Joliet Police Department announced that several gunshots were fired shortly before midnight, resulting in the death of Terry, the 25-year-old ex-prison convict. The shooting happened within walking distance of St. Joe's hospital, which is where the victim died. Joliet police recovered about 20 shell casings from the gunfire exchanged inside the apartment.

So far, no arrests have been made in connection with Terry's slaying from May. In that homicide, Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English said that at 11:47 p.m. officers responded to the 2300 block of White Birch Lane for multiple reports of shots being fired in the area.

Officers discovered an unresponsive 25-year-old man, later identified as Terry, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds in the parking lot of a nearby apartment building. Officers rendered medical aid to Terry until arrival of Joliet Fire Department paramedics.
