CHAMPAIGN -- Police are trying to get to the bottom of a deadly robbery.

Police are trying to find two suspects behind a home invasion that ended with a murder. It happened two weeks ago on the 200 block of E. Roper Street. Police said two suspects came in the home armed with handguns. Authorities said they demanded money and then started firing. Two people inside were shot and one of them died. The gunmen escaped with the money.

Police have some leads but still need your help. Witnesses only had a brief description of the suspects. They said they were two black men wearing black hoodies with scarves over their faces.

If you have any information, call Champaign County Crimestoppers at 217-373-TIPS. You can also send a text or web tip. You can be anonymous and you could get a cash reward.
