A man and woman found shot to death Monday morning in a home in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side have both been identified.
Officers responded to a call of a person shot at 7:36 a.m. inside a home in the 2500 block of West 46th Street, according to Chicago Police.
Pricilla A. Gloria Reyes, 33, was found shot in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:45 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Edwin Eliseco Chuy Cutzal, 31, was shot multiple times and was also pronounced dead at the scene at 7:45 a.m., authorities said.
Both of their deaths were ruled homicides, according to the medical examiner’s office.
They were discovered in the basement apartment of the building.
Residents were uneasy on Monday, saying this kind of violence is not common in the area.
"It's kinda awkward that it did happen over in this neighborhood. I mean, in the Back of the Yards, I know there is gang shooting and stuff. So I didn't think anything like that would happen over here," said David Brosman, who lives across the street.
Brosman said he was watching the Super Bowl at the time police told him the shooting occurred.
Other neighbors said they saw at least one suspicious person in the area before the shooting, and late Monday afternoon, police removed a car parked in front of the building, though its connection to the crime was unclear.
