It was not immediately clear what led up to the shooting or if police are searching for any other suspects.

According to city authorities, the gathering went on until the early hours of New Year’s Day, and the guests were requested to wrap it up because the loud music was causing disturbances in the surrounding area.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call KanComm at (815) 933-3324 or the Detective Bureau at 815-933-0426.
