PEORIA, Ill. – The City of Peoria may now have its first homicide of the year.
Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood says Sara Gater, 29, of Bloomington was pronounced brain dead Thursday morning at a Peoria hospital, after the shooting around 3:00 p.m. Wednesday near Laramie and Wiswall in South Peoria.
Harwood says an autopsy will be conducted following organ procurement.
While no one has officially said the shooting has now become a homicide investigation, it would be only the first this year, a full month after the city saw its first homicide last year.
