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. Michael Aldover, 47, of Skokie, was identified as the man fatally shot Tuesday evening in the driveway of a Grace Avenue. (Park Ridge Police Department)"[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.
