A 60-year-old woman found shot to death Monday evening at a home on the Far South Side.

About 7:35 p.m., family members found Doris A. Moore on the floor of the home in the 300 block of West 115th Street, which borders the Roseland and West Pullman neighborhoods, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Moore was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead at 8:13 p.m., authorities said. An autopsy Tuesday found she died of a gunshot wound to the head and her death was ruled a homicide.

Area South detectives were investigating.
