A late-morning shooting in north suburban Glenview left a 16-year-old girl dead on Saturday, police said. Officers responded around 11 a.m. to the 3600 block of South Salem Walk, where the teen was found wounded in the street. She was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge and later pronounced dead. Detectives are searching for a person of interest, and the investigation remains active.
Authorities have released a few details about what unfolded before the gunfire. Police said only that the girl had been shot in the street before being transported to the hospital. According to CBS Chicago, detectives asked anyone with information to call the Sheriff’s Police detectives at 708-865-4896.

Investigators have not identified a suspect or publicly outlined a motive. Officials say interviews and evidence-gathering are underway as part of the ongoing probe.

North Suburban Context
Glenview and neighboring suburbs have seen several serious investigations this year, and regional task forces are sometimes brought in when cases grow more complex. Earlier in March, authorities called in the North Regional Violent Crimes Task Force for a Sanders Road investigation, highlighting how departments coordinate on major incidents across the north suburbs, as detailed in the Sanders Road crime scene.
What Officials Say and How to Help
Police say the investigation into Saturday’s shooting remains open, and they have not released the victim’s name. No arrests have been reported. Advocate Lutheran General Hospital lists its Park Ridge address on its site, where the teen was pronounced dead. Authorities again urged anyone with tips to call the Sheriff’s Police detectives at 708-865-4896, or call 911 in an emergency.
