Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell (pictured) says detectives have worked up enough information to get a physical description of the person who they say fatally shot Aaron Cutler, 38, during a fight Wednesday evening in the 300 block of South Paul Street. And they now believe someone dropped off the gunman near the scene.

They believe they have identified the vehicle involved but have not found it. Campbell says they need more information, and if you can help, you may call the sheriff’s department at 217-753-6840 or Crime Stoppers at 217-788-8427.
