Woman, child found dead inside Cook County townhome, officials say
The Brief The bodies of a woman and child were discovered inside a townhome in Streamwood. A large police presence responded to the scene. A neighbor described seeing blood everywhere when she went into the home. COOK COUNTY - A death investigation is underway in northwest suburban Streamwood after a woman and child were found dead inside a townhome on Wednesday. What we know A FOX 32 crew at the scene reported seeing two bodies being carried out of the home in the 1500 block of McKool Avenue early Thursday morning. According to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, the victims were both female: 21-year-old Janiya Jenkins and 10-year-old Uyani Jones. We spoke with a neighbor who told us her daughter was best friends with the 10-year-old victim. She said her daughter was on the phone with the victim when she heard yelling around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday night. The daughter reportedly heard the 21-year-old victim say, "Don't kill the kids." The neighbor said the 7-year-old brother of the victims, and a "baby niece," came to her house for help. She then called the mother of the children who was at work. At that point, the neighbor went into the home and found the victims dead on the second floor — one in the bedroom, the other in the hallway. She said blood was everywhere and that she believes the victims were stabbed. A different neighbor said he heard gunfire around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday. "I was here in my house around 8:20 and there was gunshots, and I was wondering what it was, and I finally came outside and I see everything that's happening. And supposedly there's like two victims, and this is usually a quiet neighborhood. So I'm not sure. This is quite interesting. Hopefully everything is resolved because I live here and don't want to worry about my neighborhood being dangerous," he said. Neither the stabbing nor shooting narratives have been confirmed by police. Dig deeper Bensenville police issued a statement Thursday morning, saying Streamwood authorities notified them of a possible crime late Wednesday night. Bensenville PD located the suspect's vehicle in Redmond Park. An extensive search of the area was conducted using drones, K9s, and support from several local agencies.
