On December 6, 2016, at approximately 5:30 p.m., a relative discovered 62-year-old Susan Fritz and her 64-year-old husband, Raymond Fritz, deceased in their residence located in the 8500 block of Laramie Avenue in Burbank, Illinois. Both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene at 5:46 p.m. A firearm was found nearby, and authorities reported no signs of forced entry or further foul play. The Cook County medical examiner's office scheduled autopsies for the following day.
Subsequent reports indicated that the medical examiner ruled Raymond Fritz's death a suicide. This suggests that Raymond Fritz fatally shot his wife, Susan Fritz, before taking his own life. Given these findings, law enforcement did not identify any suspects or make any arrests related to the incident.
