UPDATE: Luis Manuel Escobar, Victim of Unincorporated Oswego Township Weekend Shooting, Identified
The Kendall County Coroner has officially identified the man killed in a weekend shooting in unincorporated Oswego Township as **Luis Manuel Chauran Escobar, 22, of Valencia, Venezuela**. The identification was confirmed through fingerprint analysis with assistance from the Illinois State Police.
The investigation, described by the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office as “active and ongoing,” has taken a turn. A person of interest detained since Sunday has been released without charges. Authorities emphasize that detectives continue to pursue every lead.
Investigators have stated the shooting was a targeted incident, not a random act of violence. They are urgently appealing to anyone who attended the party where the shooting occurred or who may have photos or video from the event to come forward.
The case grows more complex with the revelation that a 14-year-old girl was also struck by gunfire earlier that same morning. She was treated at a Chicago-area hospital.
This development raises pressing questions for a concerned community: If this was indeed a targeted shooting that also injured a juvenile, how does a person of interest walk free with no charges? Residents are left anxiously awaiting answers and wondering when they should expect real accountability as the search for the shooter continues.
