Bridget Michelle Ross, 35, of Peoria, Illinois, died from a single, fatal gunshot wound to her upper body on January 1, 2022. Emergency responders arrived at about 3:56 a.m. at 517 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive after a report of a shooting; she was found unresponsive and not breathing and was pronounced dead at OSF St. Francis Medical Center at 4:29 a.m. The Peoria County Coroner, Jamie Harwood, determined the wound likely caused instant death.

Officers found an adult male at the scene who also had apparent gunshot wounds; his condition was not detailed. Authorities identified a suspect, 27-year-old Robert White, who is believed to be involved in Bridget’s death and in another fatal shooting earlier that same day of 33-year-old Daniela T. Jackson. Police describe White as armed and dangerous and asked anyone with information to contact law enforcement.

Does anyone have information about Bridget’s whereabouts the night of December 31 into January 1, or about activity near 517 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive that could help the investigation?
