CHICAGO (STMW) -- A 31-year-woman was found shot to death early Thursday morning and police say her boyfriend is a suspect in the slaying. A second woman was wounded.
The Lake County coroner's office identified the dead woman as Kennette Oneal, of the 1000 block of Matthews Street. The coroner's office said she suffered multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at 5:20 a.m.
Lt. Thomas Pawlak said the incident unfolded as a domestic argument about 4:45 a.m.
