Macomb Police Department

The officers were shot while serving a search warrant.

Macomb hired Thorpe in 1961 to be the city’s first Black police officer. He retired in 1984 as a sergeant.

Shaiking Mathis will remain in the McDonough County jail following the shooting and standoff on North Normal Street.

The suspect was taken into custody without further incident on Thursday afternoon after a lengthy stand-off.

Chief Jeff Hamer said he has reviewed audio and video of the shooting several times.

A special prosecutor found no basis for charges after reviewing evidence, including audio and video recordings of the shooting.

The session included the Macomb Police Department, city leadership, the WIU Office of Public Safety, Illinois State Police, and members of the Quincy Police Department.

A child and a man are dead following an officer-involved shooting after police responded to a domestic violence call.

Police were called to the scene late Saturday night.

Mac spent about five years with the department, helping police collect evidence and connect with the community.
