Meanwhile, investigators have not yet determined a motive or if a suspect was injured in the shooting.
"We are going to solve this crime, and find the individuals that are responsible for this heinous, terrible, incident," CPD Deputy Chief Jon Hein said.
Police said they have been called to that home before.
"You hear music, and people coming in and out, like, smoking, and with, like, drinks in their hands," said El Towers. "It was, like, over 20 people."
The mayor's office said it will work closely with CPD to ensure those responsible are held accountable.
The shooting took place in the 14th Ward, which borders Alderman Ray Lopez's 15th Ward.
Lopez said he's been told police have been called to the home numerous times in recent months.
But he's unaware of any incidents of violence there.
No one is in custody.
Some neighbors said they believe a migrant family has been living at the house for the last several months.
Chicago police and city building inspectors were back on the scene Tuesday.
