Man, 75, allegedly confesses to fatally shooting 2 women in Washington Heights

Charges were pending Monday for a suspect, 75, who allegedly confessed to police that he fatally shot his girlfriend and another woman he lived in the city's Far South Side Washington Heights neighborhood.

A motive remained unknown for the late Saturday attack.

Officers said they responded to a 911 call from the alleged shooter about 11 p.m., and when they knocked on the door of the home in the 10400 block of South Peoria Street the 75-year-old suspect "spontaneously" told police that he shot the women and the gun was "upstairs," according to a Chicago police report.

The officers found 68-year-old Phyllis Goolsby unresponsive with gunshot wounds to her chest on the second floor, according to the report. Goolsby and the alleged shooter were in a romantic relationship with no prior domestic incidents, the police report stated.

Officers said they found another victim, a still-unidentified 71-year-old woman, unresponsive in the first-floor bedroom with gunshot wounds to her back and torso, the report said.

Several shell casings were around the bodies of the women, who lived with the alleged shooter and were dead on the scene.

The man was taken into custody, and a handgun was found and secured on the second floor of the home, the police report said.

Police said charges were pending Monday.
