Community Invited to Support Officer Timmons at Pizza Fundraiser

GRANITE CITY - Pizza World Gourmet Pizzeria at 1535 Johnson Road in Granite City is donating all proceeds from a $17 buffet that includes pizza, salad and a soft drink and any $12 large carry-out of cheese, pepperoni or sausage proceeds from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 18, 2025, to Granite City Police Officer Tyler Timmons.

The Granite City Police Department encourages the public to come out and support the fundraiser for Officer Timmons.

Officer Timmons was shot on Dec. 5, 2025, near the restaurant, only a block away. He was subsequently hospitalized at St. Louis University Hospital for one week and is still recovering at home.

Ryan Wortham, owner of Pizza World Gourmet Pizzeria, is leading the donation effort. The Granite City Police Department has also encouraged the public to support the fundraiser.

On Dec. 12, 2025, Timmons returned home with an escort from St. Louis University Hospital by several law enforcement agencies in a strong show of support.

D.J. Marshall, the suspect, was charged in the shooting after a 12-hour manhunt that involved many law enforcement agencies.
