Skokie Man Found Shot To Death Outside Park Ridge Home: Police

PARK RIDGE, IL — A Skokie man was found shot to death outside a Park Ridge apartment building Tuesday, police said.

Officers were dispatched to a report of gunfire shortly after 8 p.m. on the 200 block of North Grace Avenue, a cul-de-sac that ends at the Metra tracks.

Police found a man lying unconscious in the the driveway of a home. He appeared to have been shot multiple times, according to Park Ridge police.

Paramedics rushed the man to Lutheran General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 9 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.

He was later identified as 47-year-old Michael Andover.

"[T]his appears to be an isolated incident," Park Ridge police said in a statement, "and there is no danger to the public."

Investigators from the Major Case Assistance Team, a multi-jurisdictional suburban mutual aid organization, are helping Park Ridge police with the probe.

A rotating cast of characters occupied the apartment where the shooting took place, a neighbor told WLS-TV, saying it was hard to tell who, if anyone, lived in the apartment full time.

The homicide is the first in Park Ridge since the July 2019 killing of a 74-year-old woman, whose son is accused of stabbing her to death with a large sword.
