An 18-year-old woman died days after she and a 17-year-old boy were shot last week in the parking lot of the River Oaks Center mall in south suburban Calumet City.
About 6 p.m. on Oct. 10, officers responded to a call of shots fired outside of the mall, located at 96 River Oaks Center Drive, Calumet City Chief of Police Christopher Fletcher said at a news conference.
Officers found the teens seriously injured from gunshot wounds, Fletcher said. They were transported to area hospitals.
Christin Ross was pronounced dead at 8:40 p.m. Oct. 12, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said. She lived in Calumet City.
An autopsy conducted Oct. 13 confirmed she died of her gunshot wounds, the medical examiner’s office said. Her death has been ruled a homicide.
“This appears to not be a random act of violence,” Fletcher said. “There is no immediate threat to public safety.”
No arrests have been reported. An investigation is ongoing.
