Early Monday in Peoria’s usually quiet Vistancia neighborhood, a person was both shot and stabbed outside a home, according to police. The victim was taken to a hospital, and officers have not released the person’s identity or condition. When police arrived, the suspect was already gone, and detectives say the case is very much active.
