I’m sure you’ve heard by now. The Journal Star, Pantagraph, and WEEK.com (picture to the right is from WEEK) have all been reporting the latest Peoria homicide. This time the homicide was committed without a gun or knife, but with a cement block. From the Pantagraph:

Apparently, someone threw the brick just after 1 a.m. from the Broadway Street overpass, according to the Illinois State Police. Katrina Kelley, 26, was riding in the passenger seat of a westbound Cadillac driven by Todd Foster when the brick crashed through, hitting her chest.

The State Police and Peoria Police departments are both working on this case. This just goes to show you that those big fences on Peoria’s overpasses are no deterrent to the demented [expletive deleted] who think it’s funny to throw heavy objects onto unsuspecting motorists. My guess is the person was just out for his usual night of random vandalism and his extra-tiny pea-brain never considered the fact that a brick dropped/thrown/whatever from that height could kill somebody.

Please, please, please let the police catch the filthy vermin who did this and bring him to justice.
