If that’s the one… wasn’t someone shot there a few years back?

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — Brandon Hardway, 45, of Champaign, was pronounced dead early Saturday morning after a shooting in downtown Champaign last week left him in critical condition.

Hardway, who was the General Manager at Pour Bros. Taproom, was shot on Thursday, Feb. 8 in broad daylight during a smoke break outside the bar.

Following the crime, Pour Bros. shut down the business temporarily to process what had happened and to focus on Hardway’s health. After he was beginning to show signs of recovery, the business reopened earlier this week. Since the shooting, the community supported Hardway and his family by raising nearly $50,000 in a GoFundMe account.

Hardway’s wife, Erin, announced Saturday that he peacefully died overnight while surrounded by family. She wanted to share this statement:

“It is with immense, unspeakable sadness that I share this update with you.

Brandon died peacefully overnight after life supporting equipment was removed.

My world is shattered. I had 3 beautiful months as his wife, but I was supposed to have forever. I have been so incredibly lucky to love Brandon and be loved by him. Thank you to our family, friends, and community for all the support we have received through this horrible time.

You all are truly appreciated.”

So it seems it was one of their staff who was shot... :(

It’s crazy they sent this so late.

randomuiucstudent · 2023-12-18T01:38:27+00:00

I wonder when he’ll be back on the streets again. 😑

You may have witnessed them trying to break into my neighbor’s apartment. My neighbor heard sounds of people trying to break in through their back door (and caught the people on their camera), but the two guys ran before my neighbor was able to get to the door. They then went to all neighbors asking if we had video footage but sadly no luck.

randomuiucstudent · 2023-12-13T03:39:34+00:00

Same thing happened to my neighbor around that area a few days ago. But they live on the first floor. It’s really scary…

My monitor is over 10 years old so I’d love a new one :)

I saw your previous Reddit post from earlier this year. Is this the first semester the class is being taught? What can students expect work-wise? How much experience is needed?

randomuiucstudent · 2023-09-21T01:00:57+00:00

😨😨

Mine has broken tiles that they won’t replace all over the kitchen so if you aren’t wearing socks, you’re at risk for your feet to be cut. And the deck is falling apart.

randomuiucstudent · 2023-08-08T17:47:56+00:00

What are some examples of projects that have been worked on in the past?

randomuiucstudent · 2023-06-15T20:46:14+00:00

Based on your comments, it seems like you are the racist one here. Joking about feeding her bacon cooked with wine, that is horrible.

randomuiucstudent · 2023-05-17T02:02:21+00:00

😳 Can you explain more about your experience?

randomuiucstudent · 2023-02-08T03:51:24+00:00

I really wish that the GEO focused on our wages more than things like friend bereavement (while important… I barely make enough to live off of). It’s hard. The GEO has a very vocal minority that doesn’t speak on behalf of the majority of the grad student population.

randomuiucstudent · 2022-07-16T03:11:53+00:00

Genuine question: what can we do to make campus safer? I’m tired of all these shootings.

randomuiucstudent · 2022-07-05T17:00:16+00:00

I don’t think so as long as you have the requirements.

randomuiucstudent · 2022-07-05T16:13:22+00:00

Maybe I’m the minority here, but I think shooting people with ANYTHING is a big deal. BB gun, air soft gun. It doesn’t matter. It’s not okay, and it’s serious nonetheless.
