JOLIET, Ill. - A Bolingbrook man is accused of fatally shooting a Joliet mom in her car Sunday morning.
At about 12:21 a.m. Sunday, Joliet officers responded to a report of a parking complaint in an alley west of the 1200 block of Clement Street.
When officers arrived, they located 24-year-old Maya Smith in the front seat of the vehicle, who appeared to have been shot and killed.
Maya's two-year-old girl was found in the backseat of the vehicle with no apparent physical injury, police said.
The child was transported to Ascension St Joseph Medical Center for a medical evaluation out of an abundance of caution.
