A beloved business owner and mother was murdered 'execution style' in her bar after her cold-hearted killer demanded cash, according to police.
Courtney Drysdale, 30, was shot dead on Monday at around 11 am while she was alone in her bar, The Line, in Momence, Illinois.
Investigators say she was opening for the day when her suspected killer, Julius E Burkes Jr, 47, allegedly stormed inside and demanded money from the register.
The terrified victim complied with his demands - but that did not stop him from fatally shooting her twice before fleeing the scene, Kankakee County Sheriff Mike Downey said during a Tuesday press conference.
He noted that Burkes allegedly tried to take down a camera inside the bar before he took off.
'Courtney was deeply loved, not only by her family and her young daughter, but also by the many patrons and friends whose lives she touched,' Downey said, per NBC.
'This senseless act of violence has profoundly impacted our community and we are fully committed to bringing the person responsible to justice.'
In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, the sheriff's office released surveillance images of the sunglass-wearing suspect, who was then on the run.

The DemonRATS aren’t kidding. They’ve begun there killing of all Americans. America will become a foreign illegal alien refuge. Nothing but DemonRATS and their slave labor, subhuman illegal aliens.
It is time to remove criminal killers
And the judges who free them
And the politicians who appoint them
The robbery wasn’t racially-motivated, but her murder most certainly was
White girl bleed a lot.
Hopefully he gets the maximum penalty.

Blacks, with help from their democrat enablers, have turned America turned into a killing field.
It cannot be denied.
And the media treats it as ‘normal’.
I was just searching for the photos to post when I thought “I’d better see if somebody beat me to it.” Thanks.
Infuriating, heart-wrenching, vile, evil. Well-loved, hard-working woman gunned down by that monster.
People don’t want to hear this but being a bar owner is a dangerous job. Opening up by yourself is doubly dangerous. We have taught female children that they can do anything they want. They have voted this way as well. I’m tired. IDK anymore.
The Sheriff might want to bring this evil monster to justice, but the Illinois "justice system" has other plans for him.
And yet he's been walking around committing crimes ever since.
Democrats will give him a lifetime achievement award!
Click. Yup.
What black man or woman alive today doesn't know anything they do to whitey--anything-- will be ignored and swept under the rug.
