A 50-year-old woman from Sauk Village was fatally struck in a hit-and-run incident near Winthrop Harbor, Illinois, close to the Wisconsin border. The victim, identified as Shanna White, died after being hit by a vehicle in an incident that occurred approximately four months ago.

Her daughter, 34-year-old Shaeve White, described the emotional toll the tragedy has taken on her family. She recounted the night she learned of her mother’s death, saying she was unable to sleep and felt an uneasy sense that something was wrong. The news came through a phone call from her grandmother, who was crying and surrounded by police. Shaeve White noted the profound impact of the loss, stating she has not been the same since the incident.

Authorities confirmed on Monday that the person believed to be responsible for the hit-and-run has since turned themselves in to local law enforcement. The investigation into the circumstances of the collision is ongoing, and officials have not released additional details regarding the alleged driver or potential charges at this time. Efforts to bring closure to the family continue as the community grapples with the incident.
