Jury Acquits Lonnie Payno Junior | Peoria News
A Peoria County jury acquitted Lonnie Payno Junior of all charges—including aggravated battery with a firearm and illegal gun possession—following a two-hour deliberation after his trial began Monday. The shooting, which injured two people during a late-night party on Dec. 5, 2025, was captured by ShotSpotter’s sensors, but the jury wasn’t convinced Payno was the shooter or that he possessed the weapon illegally. Despite the chaos and injuries, Payno walked free as the case closes with a not guilty verdict. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn…
