Police: Woman, 26, found shot to death in Rosemoor

CHICAGO -- A woman was found shot to death early Sunday in the Rosemoor neighborhood on the South Side, police said.

Officers responded to a call of a person shot shortly after 12 a.m. and found the 26-year-old woman unresponsive on a front porch in the 9600 block of South Forest, according to Chicago Police.

She had been shot in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The college confirmed that McKay was a biology major.
