The Case File Preview

Joseph “Lil JoJo” Coleman was only eighteen years old when he was shot and killed while riding on the handlebars of a bicycle through Englewood, but the murder quickly became one of the most important homicide cases in drill history because it happened right in the middle of the growing war between Brick Squad, STL, EBT, Lamron, and Parkway Gardens.

According to the homicide reports, JoJo was riding eastbound near 70th and Princeton when a four-door sedan began following behind him. Witnesses later described hearing multiple gunshots before JoJo jumped off the bicycle and ran northbound on Princeton while the second rider fled in the opposite direction. Detectives recovered multiple 9mm shell casings from two different locations, blood evidence from the sidewalk, surveillance footage from nearby businesses, and witness statements describing the suspect vehicle fleeing eastbound from the scene.

The full archive breaks down the homicide report, the surveillance footage timeline, the shell casing evidence, the ballistic testing, the witness descriptions, the Ford Taurus and Contour vehicle theories, and the deeper internet arguments surrounding Lamron, Lowelife, Keke, and the names people have connected to the murder for more than a decade.

The case file also goes deeper into the climate before the shooting, including the “3HunnaK” diss track, the confrontation with Lil Reese, the OBlock and STL war already escalating around Chicago, and how JoJo’s death became one of the moments that pushed drill culture into the national spotlight.

Inside the full archive are the homicide paperwork, shell casing breakdowns, crime scene photos, witness timelines, surveillance details, ballistic reports, and the deeper investigation into the murder that turned Lil JoJo into one of the most important names in Chicago drill history.
