Rockford Scanner™: Scene on The East Side, possible Body Found

Sources were reporting a large police presence working a scene on the East side. It happened around 4 am near 22nd ave and 10th st, near the alley.

We have been told there was a body found.

RPD wouldn’t provide any details at the scene and Officer Vasquez told us to call the media line to get info. We called the media line and no one answered.

RPD has yet to confirm any details.

All we can confirm is several officers working the scene near this location and while we were on scene the officers had the crime scene tape in hand and they have not released any information or confirmed anything. And sources told us it was a dead body that was found.

Rockford Scanner™: Pedestrian Hit By A Vehicle in Rockford

Update: We have been told it was a fatal. So we went to work the scene.

We asked the officer on scene if it was a fatal. And he just said “it is a current investigation and couldn’t speak” so he did not confirm nor deny if it was a fatal.

With that being said, I have personally worked numerous fatal scenes over the years, and this did not appear to be a fatal accident scene. (Only a few officers, vehicles driving through where the accident scene happened at, etc…)

We were told this was a hit and run. RPD officer wouldn’t confirm nor deny that either. Saying “it is a current investigation and couldn’t speak” so he did not confirm nor deny if it was a hit & run. When I worked the scene, I only saw police officers. I did not see any other vehicles. So this is possibly true. But again, RPD wouldn’t confirm nor deny anything.

Sources are reporting an accident on the East side.

Around 3 am this morning, several emergency personnel were on scene of an accident that happened near 22nd st and Hunter.

Reports are saying a pedestrian has been hit by a vehicle near this location.

Injuries were being reported. At the time of writing this, it is not yet known on the severity of the injuries. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Rockford Scanner™: Sources are reporting a scene on Rockford Eastside, Police Perimeter

Sources are reporting a scene on Rockford Eastside.

It happened approximately 1:20 AM.

Sounds like a vehicle fled from police and then the suspects fled on foot and now police had a large perimeter set up searching for the suspects.

The source said ” HUGE police presence on Hollister and Hooker Ave, searching a vehicle, cops at Schnucks, Charles St and 20th, behind the salvation army Temple, 22nd St….”

Another source said “30 or more just came down state leaving work every side rd is blocked off and every main rd to get to the side streets cops are not letting anyone thru”

All we can confirm right now is multiple police officers are working a scene on Rockford Eastside and to please avoid this area. Check back later for possible updates.
