On Thursday, May 28th, Champaign Police were proud to be honored as nominees for the Freedom Award from the organization Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. It was even more incredible to learn that the nomination came from one of the handful of CPD employees who spent part of 2025 on a military deployment.

Our agency employs members of the Army Reserve and the National Guard, along with many more retired military. When one of our teammates is on active duty, we do our best to look after them and ensure they get a taste of home through care packages. We're proud of their service, both at home in our uniform and away in another.

Champaign Police are seeking assistance from residents in investigating two incidents that occurred in the early overnight hours of May 31, 2026, injuring people in Champaign. These incidents are being investigated separately, as Investigators have no indication at this time that they are related.

Incident #1: Champaign Police were dispatched to an area hospital at 1:54 a.m. after a 17-year-old male victim arrived by personal transport with a potentially life-threatening gunshot wound to the abdomen. He reported that he was walking in the 2000 block of Moreland Boulevard when he was struck by gunfire. The victim remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Incident #2: At 5:32 a.m., a 36-year-old man walked into the same Emergency Department with a head injury. While he initially reported that the injury resulted from a sports-related incident in the Garden Hills neighborhood, medical personnel quickly determined it was a gunshot wound. The victim provided no further information about the incident. He remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Champaign Police ask that anyone who has additional information please call 217-351-4545. Arrangements can be made for information to be shared privately. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous may also submit tips to Crime Stoppers by phone at: 217-373-8477 (TIPS); online at 373tips.com; or through the “P3 Tips” mobile app.

A Champaign man is in custody for his alleged role in an early afternoon shooting that injured one. Champaign Police were dispatched to the 1200 block of Providence Circle at 12:33 p.m. on May 23, 2026, following a report of a shooting with injuries. On-scene, officers learned that a 28-year-old male victim had been struck by gunfire, leading to a non-life-threatening injury.

The investigation indicates that the victim was in the 1400 block of Summit Ridge Road when he encountered 27-year-old Travon Brize. This interaction resulted in an argument during which Brize is alleged to have produced and fired a weapon, striking him. Brize was located a short time later and arrested in the 1400 block of Summit Ridge Road.

Even with an arrest, the investigation remains ongoing. Champaign Police ask that anyone with additional information please call 217-351-4545. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous may also submit tips to Crime Stoppers by phone at: 217-373-8477 (TIPS); online at 373tips.com; or the “P3 Tips” mobile app.
