URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — The Urbana Police Department said they do not believe that two shootings, which happened over the weekend in Urbana, are connected.

On Friday night, an 18-year-old was shot and killed near Vawter and Silver Streets in Urbana. The next night, two people were shot and killed near Lanore Drive. Police said that while they are investigating both incidents, they likely are not connected.

The Saturday night shooting, which left a 7-year-old, and 43-year-old dead is believed to be the result of a domestic violence situation, according to police. Police also said the suspect involved was known to the occupants of the home. Because of this, the police said they do not believe it was a random act.

URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — Urbana police say two people are dead after a home invasion and shooting in Urbana Saturday evening.

Once on scene, officers found a 7-year-old child who was struck by gunfire. That child was then immediately transported to the hospital, later succumbing to their wounds.

After the child was transported to the hospital, a 43-year-old Urbana man was also found near the scene with gunshot wounds. That adult was also transported to the hospital where he also succumbed to his wounds.

The identities of both individuals are being withheld pending family notifications.
