A suspect was still at-large Tuesday following a weekend shooting in which a 30-year-old woman was injured, Naperville police said.
The victim was found about 2:45 p.m. Sunday on the porch of a house in the 1000 block of Iroquois Avenue, not far from Ogden Avenue and Naperville Road, police Cmdr. Rick Krakow said.
The woman, who remains hospitalized, did not live at the residence where she was found, Krakow said. It’s believed the victim and suspect got into a dispute that led to the shooting, he said.
While it wasn’t a domestic situation, they were “known to each other” and it wasn’t a random incident, he said. “The suspect and victim can be classified as acquaintances,” he said.
When asked if the suspect was male or female, he said, “Right now, we’re going to withhold that information.”
The exact location of where shooting occurred is still under investigation, Krakow said. Asked why the victim was at the residence on Iroquois if she did not live there, Krakow said police are “not willing to provide this information as of now.”
The suspect is believed to have fled in a car, but Krakow declined to say if they have a description of the vehicle.
“Investigators have developed leads, and they’re continuing to investigate any vehicle that was involved and any person that was involved,” he said.
At the time of the shooting, police put out a shelter-place-order to households within a half-mile radius of the scene via the city’s Naper Notify mass alert system. The message was distributed to “2,300 contacts” and lasted about an hour, he said.
Police are asking anyone with information regarding the incident to contact them at 630-548-2955 or [email protected].

.A 16-year-old was taken into custody after an April 16 shooting in the 2500 block of Leach Drive, near Plainfield-Naperville Road and 87th Street, that stemmed from robbery and left a 22-year-old Naperville man injured, police said.
Investigators determined two suspects, both known to the victim, struggled with the man at his house and ultimately shot him in the leg, police said in a news release.
No information has been released on the robbery, the second suspect or why the victim was shot.
