CHICAGO (WLS) — A woman was found shot to death at a North Side home on Friday morning, Chicago police said.<\/p>\n
Police said the 36-year-old woman was found inside a home in the West Rogers Park neighborhood’s 6900-block of North Bell Avenue just before 9:15 a.m<\/p>\n
The victim, who suffered at least one gunshot wound to the abdomen, was pronounced dead on the scene, police said. Her identity has not been released.<\/p>\n
What led up to the shooting was not immediately clear. No other injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
The normally quiet West Rodgers Park block was draped in police tape and neighbors were left uneasy Friday.<\/p>\n
“It’s shocking, you know, it’s just… you wouldn’t expect it in your building. But like I said it’s everywhere,” condo complex resident Hipolito Bello said.<\/p>\n
Bello lives in the two-building condo complex, where police say the 36-year-old woman was found dead inside her second-floor unit.<\/p>\n
“It’s very shocking for me now,” former condo complex resident Nadim Akhtar said. “I’m shocked. I never expect that kind of, you know, situation happen.”<\/p>\n
Police did not immediately provide further information about the shooting. Area Three detectives are investigating the death as a homicide, CPD officials said.<\/p>\n
“A little weary, especially knowing that they didn’t catch anybody, so it’s definitely putting me on alert,” neighborhood resident Darnell Tripp said.<\/p>\n
Alderman Debra Silverstein of the 50th Ward issued a statement, saying ” The 24th District Police notified me of a shooting that occurred in the neighboring 40th Ward, on the 6900 block of N Bell. According to the police, a female victim was found dead in her home. Anyone with information should please call the Area 3 Bureau of Detectives at (312) 744-8263. This is an active police investigation, and I will update you with more information when it becomes available.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
