(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — A woman died Thursday in a shooting at an apartment complex in far southwest suburban Morris and a suspect was in custody after a search, officials said.
The man was taken into custody about 7 p.m. – roughly two and a half hours after the shooting was reported in the 500 block of Twilight Drive, city spokesman Stan Knudson said. The suspect was arrested about 25 miles away in Joliet.
The woman was transported to Morris Hospital, where she died, Grundy County Coroner John Callahan said.
Police urged residents to shelter in place as they searched for the suspect, who police are now questioning, Knudson said.
He fled the area of the shooting in the victim’s vehicle, which police tracked through license plate reading cameras and later located in Joliet, Knudson said.
No other injuries were reported. Additional information was not available.
