Erica D. Blackman was found shot to death early Friday in the Chatham neighborhood in what police are calling an apparent murder-suicide.
A relative found 27-year-old Blackman and a 42-year-old man shot to death in the 8000 block of South Princeton Avenue about 12:45 a.m. Friday, authorities said.
An autopsy determined Blackman, who lived on the block, was shot in the left arm and her death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Police said the man died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The medical examiner’s office confirmed his death, but did not release his name.
Area South detectives are investigating the deaths as a domestic murder-suicide, police said.
