Jacksonville police seek man linked to Walmart Supercenter incident
Police are asking shoppers to identify a man tied to a May 27 incident at the Jacksonville Walmart Supercenter on West Morton Avenue.
Jacksonville police are asking the public to help identify a man connected to an incident at the Walmart Supercenter in Jacksonville. The department released an image of the person and said officers want to speak with him about what happened at the store.
NewsChannel 20 reported that the incident occurred at 9:10 p.m. on May 27 at the Jacksonville Supercenter, which Walmart lists at 1941 W Morton Ave, Jacksonville, IL 62650. The store is identified as Walmart Store #200. Police have not publicly said in the material released what specific offense or allegation the man is wanted in connection with, only that investigators believe he may have information about the case.
The Jacksonville Police Department is based at 200 West Douglas Avenue in Jacksonville and lists its non-emergency number as 217-479-4630. Anyone who recognizes the man in the photo is asked to contact the department. The request comes as Jacksonville police continue to use public tips in retail-crime investigations, including a September 2025 case in which officers asked for help identifying a person who may have information about a Walmart larceny incident.
The department says its mission is to prevent crime and maintain order in a way that promotes public trust and confidence. For Morgan County shoppers, the latest request centers on one of Jacksonville’s busiest retail sites, and police are treating the image as a key lead in the investigation.
