Naperville Crime Stoppers is turning up the heat on a cold case, dangling a reward of up to $1,000 for clues that could lead to the capture of suspects involved in a brutal beatdown that left a 19-year-old man with serious injuries last September. In the early hours back on Sept. 30, 2023, the downtown streets of Naperville witnessed an aggravated battery that has since remained unsolved, and now authorities are appealing to the public’s sense of justice—and their wallets—to help crack the case.
The attack, which unfolded around 3 a.m. on the Main Street bridge south of Chicago Avenue, was captured in part by surveillance cameras, prompting investigators to release images of two vehicles—a black Jeep Wrangler and a white sedan—believed to be linked to the suspects or witnesses. These vehicles, coupled with the photographs of individuals recently shared on the official Naperville Crime Stoppers website, paint a chilling portrait of a night interrupted by violence, and a victim left to grapple with the aftermath in solitude, his assailants disappearing into the night as swiftly as they emerged.
Any tipster with information that can shed light on this nighttime ordeal is urged to reach out to Naperville Crime Stoppers by calling (630) 420-6006 or by submitting details online at www.napervillecrimestoppers.com. Anonymity is a cornerstone of the Crime Stoppers promise, ensuring that voices seeking to uplift the truth face no retribution for their courage.
