Officers were called to the 200 block of South Yellow Springs Street around 12:37 a.m. on Monday on reports of a man who was shot. Officers found Gillam lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds, according to a Springfield Police Division report.
Gillam didn’t have a pulse and was unresponsive. Medics arrived and performed CPR on the man before transporting him to Springfield Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased.
A 911 caller, who identified herself as the mother of Gillam’s child, said she heard several gunshots ring out before seeing him on the ground.
“Oh my God, I don’t know what’s going on,” she said. “I’m not sure if he’s breathing. He’s on his stomach. I don’t see any blood. He’s in the street.”
“People are coming,” the dispatcher said.
“I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to leave him out here,” she said.
No charges had been filed as of Monday.
Police continue to investigate the shooting.
