A man was fatally shot in Blue Island on Wednesday morning in what police are calling an “isolated” incident.

The victim, whose identity has not been released, was found around 7 a.m. in an alley in the area of Vincennes Road and Collins Street. The man had an apparent gunshot wound, police said in a statement.

On Thursday, the medical examiner’s office ruled the man’s death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Blue Island police said in a statement Wednesday that they had detained a person of interest and recovered a weapon at the scene, but it was not clear Thursday if that person remained in custody.

Police did not respond to a request for additional information on the shooting.
