The Will County Sheriff's Office is searching for one or more suspects at large following a deadly shooting incident in Lockport Township, Illinois. The violence occurred on Wednesday evening, around 7:54 p.m., on the 200 block of Dellwood Avenue. According to law enforcement officials, the incident involved a man and a woman who were innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire while standing on their driveway. The female victim, identified as 31-year-old Michelle Robinson, a mother of five, was transported to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. The male victim sustained injuries but is expected to survive. Authorities have surrounded the home where the shooting took place and continue to investigate the scene nearly a day after the event. Neighbors reported hearing rapid gunfire, with one resident noting that the sound resembled a weapon that fires quickly and produces many bullets. Another neighbor confirmed that a stray bullet penetrated the roof of a nearby home. The incident has caused significant distress in the community, particularly because it occurred within a block of Fairmont School, prompting the school to provide social workers for students affected by the news. As of Thursday, the investigating agency has not identified specific suspects, though officials indicated that those responsible remain at large. The final cause and manner of death for Michelle Robinson remain pending. Residents have expressed fear and a loss of safety in their neighborhood, with some stating they must now look out for one another due to the unsettled nature of the case. The Will County Sheriff's Office continues to seek information from the public regarding the identities of the perpetrators.
