(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A young woman was shot to death in the lobby of her apartment building in the Edgewater neighborhood on Monday. Less than 24-hours later, another person was found dead there.
A relative or Brittany Kinlow wrote on social media, “our hearts are torn to pieces.”
The 23-year-old woman was about to graduate from UIC. On Monday afternoon, she was shot in the head in the lobby of the Belle Shore Apartments on Bryn Mawr Avenue.
Her family said a man who lives in the building was responsible. It’s unclear now whether he was the person found dead in the building less than 24 hours later.
Some residents spoke to CBS 2.
"My bed is right by the window, and I did hear what I assumed was a gunshot," said neighbor Jennifer Culajay.
"I really got worried, because I have a teenager – and sometimes he's here with me on the weekends, and I leave him here for a little while," said neighbor Hugo Torres. "I got scared. I honestly got scared."
Brittany Kinlow’s death is classified as a homicide.
The man who was found dead -- 26-year-old Jovan Cabrera -- is an apparent suicide. He fatally shot himself in the head, an autopsy ruled.
