Will County Sheriff’s detectives are continuing their search for the offender/s of the double homicide that took place June 26, 2018 in Joliet Township.  The Will County Coroner’s Office has positively identified the two victims as Don Tae Ray Morgan, age 21, of Joliet, and Xavier Sallie, age 19, also of Joliet.  Both men suffered a single gunshot wound.
