Police have identified a suspect in the shooting of a 15-year-old boy last weekend in a west suburban Aurora home.
The shooting happened about 11:40 p.m. Saturday at a home in the 400 block of Echo Lane, according to Aurora police.
A 16-year-old boy walked into the home where a small party was taking place, pulled out a gun and shot the 15-year-old in the abdomen, police said. The shooter then ran away.
Police said the shooting appeared to be related to a personal dispute between the two boys.
The 15-year-old was taken to a hospital in Aurora, but was later transferred to a different suburban hospital in critical condition, police said. He was expected to survive, but had suffered “major internal injuries.”
Police said a suspect had been identified, but no one was in custody as of Wednesday morning.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Aurora police at (630) 256-5500 or Crime Stoppers at (630) 892-1000.
