Waukegan Woman Found Murdered In Her Home

WAUKEGAN, Ill. (STMW) -- A well-being check on a 28-year-old north suburban woman led to the discovery of her murder by police on Sunday night.

About 8:30 p.m. Sunday, Waukegan police went to a home in the 200 block of West Drive in Waukegan in an attempt to locate Monica L. Williams after family members reported being unable to locate her, according to a statement from Waukegan police.

Williams' body was found in the home and police have classified the death a homicide. The Lake County Coroner's office was scheduled to perform an autopsy on Monday, but was not releasing information.

Anyone with information about Williams or who had seen her recently should call the police "tip line" at (847) 360-9001. Callers can remain anonymous or leave contact information to qualify for a possible cash reward.
