RIVERDALE, Ill. (WLS) – Police continue to search for a suspect on Saturday in a double murder and child abduction that took place Friday afternoon in the southern suburbs of Riverdale.

The child is safe, but the police are still looking for a suspect.

Family members identified the victims as siblings, Damien and Jessica Beal, and said the siblings were shot dead at a house in the 14000 block of South Tracy Avenue in Riverdale.

“She had a whole son. He lost a mother and her uncle in the same day,” said the cousin of the victims, Tina Williams.

After hearing the terrible news of their deaths, the family also found out that Jessica was pregnant with her second child.

After their bodies were discovered, an Amber Alert was issued for Jessica’s one-year-old son. The alert was quickly canceled after Illinois State Police said the boy was dropped off at the police station.

A suspect, Clarence Hebron, 32, is still at large.

Members of the Beal family said Hebron was the boy’s father and Jessica’s boyfriend.

“I really hope they catch it,” said Ruby Bolden, another cousin of the victims.

Riverdale Police have not released any information about the circumstances that led to the killings, but the family is awaiting answers.

“Everyone who knew Jessica loved Jessica. She was the life of the party,” said Ebony Williams.

“Damien was a wonderful person. He was like a person you call him (and) he was there,” Bolden added. “And being the oldest cousin and I have six children, he was always at my house with my boys.”
