According to police, the "non-high school aged woman" was found "deceased on the north side of the campus." According to a community notice, the body was located near an outdoor field.
Not too many details at this time. After speaking with the acting deputy chief, we’re told a staff member found the woman. She hasn’t been identified and it’s unclear if she’s from Evanston. Their main concern was keeping staff and students safe.
