A 27-year-old Downers Grove man has been charged in the murder of his mother, who was found shot to death in the parking lot of a Burr Ridge church early Thursday.
Michael Zaky Bassaly was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 61-year-old Yvonne Zaky Bassaly, the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s office announced Thursday. He was expected to appear in court Friday.
CBS 2′s Susanna Song reports, according to police, the victim was inside or near a silver Cadillac in the lot of St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church in Burr Ridge when she was shot around 1 a.m. The one person with her called 911 and became a suspect.
The woman was later pronounced dead at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital.
“We believe this is an isolated incident, that the residents are safe,” Burr Ridge Deputy Police Chief Marc Loftus said.
As of late Thursday morning, police were calling the case a death investigation, but if it is classified as a homicide, it would be the first murder ever in Burr Ridge.
