ROCKFORD, IL – On February 9, 2023, Rockford Police officers responded to the area of 1st Avenue and Charles Street for a report of a traffic crash.

Upon arrival, officers observed 26-year- old Joshua Ewing
suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. He was transported to a local

hospital where he was pronounced deceased. Directly before the crash, officers received calls
regarding shots fired in the area of Chestnut and Winnebago Streets.

Witnesses observed an occupant of a white SUV shooting out of the window towards the victim’s car.
