A North Lawndale woman was found dead in an apparent domestic-related shooting at a UI Health parking garage in the Illinois Medical District, according to University of Illinois Chicago officials.
The victim, who was visiting UI Health for an appointment, was found on the third level of UI Health’s Wood Street Parking Garage, at 1100 S. Wood St., a UIC spokesperson said in a statement. Authorities said she was shot in the head.
The woman, identified as Shawnquanice Kimbrough, 34, was pronounced dead just before 2 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.
Just before 3 p.m., UIC police issued a campus alert that there was police activity at the garage.
Police investigation indicates the incident may have been related to a domestic dispute. The spokesperson said as of Tuesday night, there was no threat to the campus community, but that the northeast section of the garage remained closed as the investigation continued.
Chicago police deferred to UIC police for further information on the shooting.
Earlier in the afternoon, less than a mile west of the garage, two men were killed and a third man was injured when a shooting outside of a Near West Side fast-food restaurant led to a vehicle fire.
