A warrant has been issued for Tillman’s arrest.
The Peoria Police Department was called around 3 a.m. to Big Al’s on a report of an adult male shot. When officers arrived, they discovered the male who had been shot was a bouncer for the club. Through surveillance video and witnesses it was discovered that Tillman had gotten into a fight with the bouncer and had been kicked out of the club. Tillman then went to a car and retrieved a gun.

Tillman fled the scene on foot.
