Kaden Topal Death – The Wood River police have successfully identified the deceased individual who was discovered shot to death at a nearby apartment complex last week. This tragic incident, which authorities have deemed as an isolated occurrence, took place shortly before midnight on May 16 in the parking lot located in the 100 block of Thompson Street.
Upon arrival at the scene, law enforcement officers discovered the lifeless body of an 18-year-old named Kaden Topal from Edwardsville, with a firearm found in close proximity.
