PEORIA, Ill. – A Sunday night shooting at Peoria’s Bradley Park has turned fatal.
Peoria Police says officers arrived just after 7:15 P.M. to numerous individuals fleeing on foot and in vehicles, which delayed getting to the 17-year-old male victim.
The teenager suffered a gunshot wound to the head, and was taken to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
A preliminary investigation shows that a group attending an unrelated event at a park shelter saw two groups actively exchanging gunfire.
The Peoria County Coroner will release the identity of the deceased.
An investigation into the shooting continues, as well as two other shootings that occurred on Sunday.
