URBANA, Illinois — Two men who shot a 35-year-old man dead in a Champaign parking lot in the summer of 2025 will spend most of the rest of their lives in prison. In Champaign County court on Monday, Judge Randy Rosenbaum sentenced DeAndre Newbill, 38, of Urbana, to 60 years in prison and Tyson Moore, 33, of Champaign, to 55 years for the first-degree murder of Glenn Selvie, WCIA reported.
The sentences close a case that began in the early hours of Sunday, August 24, 2025, near the corner of West Springfield Avenue and Kenwood Road in Champaign, and moved quickly: police identified Moore and Newbill as the shooters and arrested them the same day, a jury convicted them in September 2026 after a three-day trial, and Monday's hearing fixed the price. Both men had faced up to 80 years in prison.

The night Glenn Selvie was killed
Champaign police were called at about 3:30 a.m. on August 24, 2025, after reports of a shooting with injuries near West Springfield Avenue and Kenwood Road. Officers found Selvie, 35, of Urbana, in a parking lot, unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds and not breathing. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at an area hospital — identified in the trial coverage as Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana.

Investigators determined that Selvie was in the parking lot when two people approached him and fired multiple shots. A later reconstruction by CU-CitizenAccess, a University of Illinois journalism project that reviewed Champaign shooting cases, reported that Moore and Newbill had been working that night as security guards at a video gaming establishment, that a fight broke out there between two people, and that Moore broke the fight up using pepper spray — after which Selvie flashed a firearm. The two men later arrived by vehicle at the parking lot where Selvie was standing with an unidentified woman, spoke with him, then drew handguns and fired repeatedly, according to that reconstruction. Police recovered two firearms, and both men were found and arrested in North Champaign a short time after the shooting.

From arrest to verdict
Moore and Newbill were each charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder. Both were denied pretrial release and remained in custody for the entire case — the 443 days of credit applied at sentencing runs from their arrest on the day of the shooting. Both pleaded not guilty, and when the case came to trial in September 2026 the court records show both men chose to go before a jury. The trial lasted three days, with witnesses identifying the defendants, and the jury found both men guilty.

Why the sentences are this long
Illinois law adds a mandatory firearm enhancement when a gun is used in a murder, and it is the single biggest driver of both totals. Of Newbill's 60 years, 35 are for the murder itself and 25 are the enhancement for using a firearm; of Moore's 55 years, 25 are the same enhancement. Rosenbaum also heard that Newbill already had a criminal record and was on probation when the killing happened. On top of the totals, the judge ordered that both men serve 100 percent of their remaining sentences — Illinois' truth-in-sentencing rule for murder leaves no early-release discount on these terms once the 443 days of custody credit is applied.
Newbill, 38, would be in his late nineties at the end of a full 60-year term; Moore, 33, would be in his late eighties at the end of 55 years. With 100-percent service required, the sentences are effectively life sentences for both men, short of a successful appeal.
One case in a much larger pattern
The Selvie killing was one entry in a caseload that has weighed on Champaign for years. The CU-CitizenAccess review of police records counted 607 shootings in the city between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2025, and examined this case among a series of local shooting deaths it linked to retaliation and personal conflict rather than stranger crime. Monday's sentencing does not change that wider picture, but for this case the court process that began with two arrests on the morning of the shooting is now complete at the trial-court level.
What happens next
Both men will be transferred to state prison to serve their sentences with credit for the 443 days already served. As with any Illinois murder conviction, the defendants have the right to appeal the verdict and the sentences; no appeal filing had been reported as of Monday's hearing. The Champaign Police Department's account of the shooting and the court's judgment are the final official records in the case unless an appeal is filed.
