Beloit police identify the victims in a weekend homicide.
26-year-old Chelsey Payton was shot around 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning near the intersection of Park and Grand avenues, and she was pronounced dead later that morning at an area hospital.
32-year-old Jeffery Scott was also injured in the gunfire, but he was released from the hospital after receiving treatment for a non-life-threatening injury.
Beloit police said they have evidence that many shots were fired in the incident and are seeking more information about the shooting from the public.
Witnesses reported seeing a man shooting into a large crowd of people following a party at 401 Park Avenue.
Police have not named a suspect and do not have anyone in custody.
Payton’s family set up a Go Fund Me page to support her five children.
