Officers entered the store and found Jailene Flores, age 21, in the storage area. Tragically, she had been shot numerous times. Despite their best attempts, the emergency personnel declared Flores dead at the site.

Armoni Henry was listed as a “possible suspect” in the investigation after the shooting. Shortly after the incident in a North Side Chicago neighborhood, police arrested him. Authorities found a gun during the arrest.
