When officers arrived on scene, they found three men who were deceased. The victims were identified as 56-year-old Reginald Neal, 24-year-old Deangelo Neal and 21-year-old Davante Hopkins.

"I credit our investigators for their relentless pursuit for justice in this case," said Kankakee County Sheriff Mike Downey. "This has been an extremely challenging investigation. Many of those involved were not from the immediate area, which required working collectively with other law enforcement entities. It should be noted, however, that we felt confident that the victims in this particular case were targeted and that the residents of Pembroke Township and Kankakee County were at no greater risk while the investigation pursued over time."
The Kankakee County Sheriff's Office also said the investigation is ongoing and that "additional arrests in the future are likely."
