The scene provided little physical evidence for investigators, who were reviewing surveillance footage from nearby cameras, the Sun-Times reported.
Witnesses were not cooperating with officers, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. Some witnesses told FOX32 Chicago the event was a baby shower, but police only confirmed it was a "family gathering."
