Local: Former Manual track star slain

From the Peoria Journal Star:

Teddy C. Jackson, 26, of 2020 W. Howett St., was shot in the head about 1:05 a.m. outside The Rock Christian Entertainment Complex, 815 S.W. Adams St., according to Peoria police. He was pronounced dead in the emergency room at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center at 1:30 a.m., said Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll.

We will no doubt be inundated with theories, rumors, accusations and denials. The young man was apparently a patron of a Christian dance club that night (Website here), and there will be those who will no doubt complain about that concept as well.

All I’m going to say is that offer my condolences to his family, friends and the Manual High School community.

    Sad yes. The fact that no one saw anything, sad also. Sad that security is needed at a non alcohol Christian Club.
