Loranisha Lane, a 31-year-old African American woman, was found shot to death inside her apartment on Homan Avenue in Midlothian, Illinois, on September 22, 2021. Police responded to a report of a gunshot victim at about 9:45 p.m. and discovered Lane unresponsive; she was pronounced dead shortly before 10 p.m. The Cook County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Multiple agencies, including the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force and the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, processed the scene and investigated. Two days after the killing investigators arrested Lane’s partner, George Buckley III, a 28-year-old man from Chicago; he was charged with first-degree murder and held without bond. Police reports say the shooting occurred during a domestic dispute, and authorities described the incident as an isolated domestic matter with no ongoing threat.
