A death investigation was underway in northwest suburban Streamwood after a 21-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl were found dead inside a townhome Wednesday night, in what officials called an “isolated” incident.
According to the Village of Streamwood, officers were dispatched to a home in the Woodland Heights East subdivision near McKool and Miller Avenues. The scene remained active overnight and into early Thursday morning, with law enforcement blocking off the complex with crime scene tape, and a Major Case Assistance Team command center set up nearby.

Approximately 15 miles east, in suburban Bensenville, police late Wednesday night were notified of a “potential crime” in Streamwood, the village said, with officers locating a suspect’s car in Redmond Park. A perimeter was immediately established, the village said, and an extensive search of the park was conducted with the assistance of drones and search dogs. Area law enforcement, along with the Cook County Sheriff’s Office and DuPage County Sheriff’s Office were also on site, the village said.
The village added that the case had been turned over to the Major Case Assistance Team and Streamwood Police. No further details were provided, and it wasn’t immediately clear if or how the incidents were connected.
