EDWARDSVILLE — After a week of trial, Madison County prosecutors were victorious Thursday evening when a jury found a 33-year-old man guilty of first-degree murder in connection with a fatal shooting outside a tire shop, according to Madison County State’s Attorney Tom Haine.

EAST ST. LOUIS - Carmillya Butler has established a GoFundMe to assist with her mother - Patrenia Butler-Turner's final expenses, including her burial. Petrenia's body was found in Pontoon Beach 10 years after she was reported missing.

The remains were confirmed to be those of Butler-Turner. A suspect - Roger D. Sutton has been charged with murder in Butler-Turner's case.
