Jelani Day

The Bloomington City Council voted 6-2 Monday night to postpone a vote on whether to install controversial police surveillance cameras, capable of automatically reading vehicle license plates.

The Jelani Day Joint Task Force is launching new initiatives in the hope of generate fresh leads in the case.

Ben Crump, a prominent civil rights attorney, has represented the family of George Floyd. Now he's supporting the family of Jelani Day in the search for answers about his death.

A crucial piece of evidence in the Jelani Day case has been located.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow PUSH Coalition assembled Friday at the Bloomington Police Department ahead of a march for Jelani Day.

A criminal justice expert at Illinois State University says the FBI is often reluctant to take a lead role in local investigations, such as the one involving graduate student Jelani Day's death.

As the investigation into the death of Illinois University University graduate student Jelani Day goes on, the time it took to find and identify the body looms larger, as potential evidence external to the body may have washed away while he was in the Illinois River.

The FBI is offering assisting local agencies in the Jelani Day case, but will not take it over unless there's evidence of a federal crime.

An autopsy report of Jelani Day released Wednesday says there was “no evidence” of assault or altercation on the body and further demystifies several longstanding rumors in the case.

The family of Jelani Day and their supporters — including the Rev. Jesse Jackson — gathered in Peru, Ill., on Tuesday in hopes of pressuring law enforcement investigating Day's death.
