Murder Charges/Public Assistance Needed

ROCKFORD, IL – On Tuesday, October 5, 2021, at approximately 8:40 p.m., Rockford Police
officers responded to the 400 block of S. Independence for reports of shots fired. Upon
arrival, officers observed three gunshot victims, a 38-year-old male with life threatening
injuries and two male victims, ages 30 and 35, with serious injuries. A short time later,
officers were notified of a walk-in shooting victim, a 36-year-old male, at a local hospital
with a life-threatening gunshot wound. The 38-year-old male victim, Charles Gholson,
succumbed to his injuries sustained in the shooting.

Rockford Police Gang Unit Detectives continued to investigate the murder, and identified
two suspects as 33-year-old Mario Perkins and 31-year-old Edmond Lilly. On October 20,
