URBANA, Ill. (Chambana Today) — A 21-year-old woman remains in serious condition after being shot Tuesday afternoon in a domestic-related incident on the 900 block of South Vine Street, according to Urbana Police.

Officers responded to the scene around 1:55 p.m., where they found the woman suffering from a gunshot wound. She was transported to a local hospital.

Police say the shooting was domestic in nature and that there is no ongoing threat to the community.

The department thanked the public for quickly reporting the incident and reminded residents that all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

The case comes during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Police encouraged anyone experiencing domestic violence or who knows someone who is, to reach out for help. Local and national resources were also highlighted in the department’s statement.

Crime Stoppers is offering up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest in any homicide case.
