On May 31, 2023, 4-year-old Camila Ariana Duarte died after being shot inside a home in the 2400 block of West Street in River Grove, Illinois. Police and paramedics were called about 10 a.m.; she was transported to Loyola University Medical Center and died just before 1 p.m. The shooting was caused by another child in the same residence. Investigators found the firearm that fired the shot was owned by the victim’s father, who held valid FOID and concealed carry cards.

The father told police the gun had been stored on a high shelf in a closet but somehow became accessible to the children. The West Suburban Major Crimes Task Force assisted with the investigation. No arrests or charges have been reported.

If anyone has information about how the gun became accessible or witnessed the events that morning, please come forward.
