Woman Shot And Killed In Gary

CHICAGO (STMW) -- A 31-year-woman was found shot to death early Thursday morning and police say her boyfriend is a suspect in the slaying. A second woman was wounded.

The Lake County coroner's office identified the dead woman as Kennette Oneal, of the 1000 block of Matthews Street. The coroner's office said she suffered multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at 5:20 a.m.

Lt. Thomas Pawlak said the incident unfolded as a domestic argument about 4:45 a.m.

He said the suspect pulled out a gun and began shooting and two women ran out of the house. Pawlak said Oneal, who was found in the alley, was the suspect's girlfriend. A second wounded woman was taken to Methodist Hospitals Northlake in Gary. Police found her in the backyard, Pawlak said.

Pawlak said the suspect fled in a gray 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer.
