FOIA Requests

Since there had been very little information released in this case and with all of the misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories, I made it my mission to uncover some facts. To see what police did or didn't do to investigate and share this information publicly. Whatever happened started in Bloomington with Jelani leaving campus to go to the dispensary and turning off his location. From there he was difficult to track. Why did he turn off his location? If he was communicating with someone through an app then that was deleted also. Who are the mystery men seen with Jelani's car behind the YMCA? Was one of them Jelani?

All reports and videos shared have been obtained through FOIA requests with the various departments investigating this case. The links are posted below if you would like to make requests of your own. It is public information to anyone, although personal information in the reports is redacted. Requests can even be made anonymously and there is no cost if the reports/videos are received in electronic format, other than the autopsy report which is $50. This case has gone cold and Jelani's manner of death remains undetermined. There is no clear evidence of homicide, suicide, or accident. It has been administratively closed as of 10/10/23 and no longer being actively investigated, unless new tips come in. If anyone knows something, please say something.
