15-year-old arrested in connection with October murder in Decatur

DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - A 15-year-old has been arrested for murder in connection with a Decatur murder from October.

The teen who is not being identified due to their age was wanted for the murder of Tevon Beasley that happened on October 24.

The teen was arrested Wednesday just after 10 p.m. at a home in Decatur. This is the second arrest in connection with the murder.

On October 24 at 10:10 p.m., the Decatur Police Department responded

to a report of shots fired with a gunshot victim at a business in the 1100 block of E. Wood Street.

Officers found 17-year-old Tevon Beasley had been shot. He was rushed to the hospital, where he later died.

Officers found the vehicle believed to have been used in the murder and a 19-

year-old man was detained at the residence where the vehicle was found. Following an investigation, 19-year-old Decatur resident Nehemiah T. Meyers was

arrested on the charge of First-Degree Murder and booked in the Macon County Jail.

Decatur police said Beasley was standing in the doorway of the business when surveillance video shows a car pulling up, with three men inside, driven by Meyers.

According to a sworn statement, a man in the back seat of the vehicle is accused of shooting Beasley before Meyers drove away.

Meyers was denied pretrial release.

The case remains under investigation.
