A manhunt remains underway Tuesday after a shooting Monday night in north suburban Highland Park near Highwood, with the investigation prompting an hours-long shelter-in-place and police asking for the public’s help in identifying two persons of interest.
The incident took place about 8 p.m. in the 300 block of Walker Avenue in Highland Park, police said, on the border of neighboring communities Highwood and Fort Sheridan. According to officials, a person was injured and was transported to a nearby hospital.
At the time, the city of Highland Park described the incident as a shooting investigation and a “rapidly evolving situation,” placing residents in the immediate area under a shelter-in-place.
“Residents in the area should not open doors or windows to unexpected visitors, and should call 911 with any concerns,” the city said in a social media post at 8:08 p.m. “Individuals should avoid the area.”
The investigation drew a large emergency response from other nearby law enforcement agencies and the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force, with police using drones and canines. About 10:40 p.m., the shelter-in-place was lifted as police said they believed the suspects fled the area.
As of Monday night, Highland Park police said they were searching for two persons of interest in connection with the shooting. The two were seen talking to the victim just prior to the shooting, authorities said.
“They are considered witnesses or potential suspects,” the city said. “If you see them, please call 911.”
Police officers will remain in the area as the investigation continues, the city said.
The investigation comes a month after shots were fired less than a mile away in the vicinity of Highwood and Grove Avenues. In that incident, no injuries were reported and two people were detained, HIghwood Police said.
