Sixteen-year-old Lilly B. Bova, a sophomore at Glenbrook South High School, was fatally shot in her family’s apartment in unincorporated Glenview, Illinois, on the morning of March 28, 2026. The Cook County Sheriff’s Office described the shooting as an isolated incident and said there was no immediate threat to the public.

Friends and teachers remembered Lilly as kind-hearted, optimistic and mature beyond her years. No arrests had been announced and authorities were searching for a person of interest whose name or detailed description was not released. Lilly’s father, Anthony Bova, publicly expressed grief and urged for justice, suggesting the perpetrator may have come from a nearby neighborhood.

What did Lilly’s neighbors or classmates notice that morning, and can anyone with information about a person of interest contact investigators?
