Chicago man shot at vehicle during road rage incident, leading to crash on I-290: ISP
Lamont Ross
CHICAGO - A Chicago man is accused of shooting at a vehicle during a road rage incident on Interstate 290 earlier this week.
Lamont Ross, 31, has been charged with attempted murder.
On Sunday, Illinois State Police (ISP) responded to a crash and expressway shooting on I-290 eastbound at Racine Avenue.
Police say the victim was driving on the entrance ramp from Independence Boulevard to I-290 eastbound when his vehicle was allegedly shot by Ross.
Both vehicles then continued onto I-290 but crashed near Racine Avenue. At that time, Ross allegedly fired shots at the victim again before fleeing on foot.
Responding troopers engaged in a foot pursuit, but Ross was able to avoid capture.
The victim was not shot, but was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries suffered during the traffic crash.
While investigating, ISP identified Ross as the suspect, and he was taken into custody on Wednesday.
