Woman found shot to death in UI Health parking garage in Illinois Medical District, UIC police say
University of Illinois Chicago police issued an alert on Tuesday afternoon after a woman was found shot to death in a UI Health parking garage.
UIC police said the woman was visiting UI Health for an appointment at the time, and they believe the shooting may be related to a domestic dispute.
Authorities were on the scene at the hospital garage at 1100 S. Wood St. in the Illinois Medical District at 2:30 p.m.
Video from CBS Skywatch showed a white sheet next to a parked car on the floor in the garage..
UIC police issued a safety alert shortly after the shooting, warning people to stay away from campus unless they were already there, but later lifted the alert. They said there is no threat to the campus community.
The northeast section of the third floor of the garage remains closed for he investigation, but the rest of the parking garage has reopened, police said. An investigation is ongoing and further updates will be shared.
The incident does not appear to be connected to another shooting 0.75-mile to the west at a White Castle at Roosevelt Road and Western Avenue.
