About 10 minutes earlier, a 42-year-old man had been shot in the leg in the 200 block of Davis Street in Joliet. That victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The Will County Sheriff's office said these earlier incidents appeared random – and the two victims were not connected. However, according to the sheriff's office, the same car with the same license plate associated with Nance was spotted at both scenes.
Will County Sheriff's Deputy Chief Dan Jungles said detectives were investigating the deadly Sunday shooting a day later – and had set up a surveillance area on Acres Road, where the registered owner of the car lived.
Deputies walked to a house and knocked on the door, Jungles said. When they received no response, they knew the people who lived in a house across the street were related to those living in the first house, Jungles said.
The deputies found blood as they entered the houses to look for injured people.
Ultimately, five people were found dead in one house at 2225 W. Acres Rd., and two were found dead in the other at 2212 W. Acres Rd., the sheriff's office said.
"I've been a policeman 25 years," Evans said. "This is probably the worst crime scene I've ever been associated with."
Joliet police announced a manhunt for Nance was underway Monday evening, and warned that he was armed and dangerous. But another horrible twist in the case came before the night's end.
Around 8:30 p.m. Monday, Joliet police learned Nance had been spotted by U.S. Marshals in Natalia, Texas – 30 miles southwest of San Antonio.Â
Natalia, Texas, is 1,200 miles from Joliet – more than an 18-hour drive. Joliet police said Nance was found in a car at a Valero gas station.
It is believed that Nance died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after a confrontation with Texas law enforcement, according to Joliet police.
