SCHILLER PARK, Ill. (WLS) -- A woman found shot to death inside a car Wednesday in west suburban Schiller Park was identified Friday.

Quetcy Alma Benitez, 47, died after she was shot multiple times late Wednesday morning in the 9500-block of Lawrence Avenue, Cook County Director of Communications Frank Shuftan said. Her death was ruled a homicide.

A 19-year-old man was also shot in the sedan, but he survived. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
