At 1:28 p.m. Wednesday, a rider in a black SUV headed South on the Chicago Skyway shot into a BMW coupe, killing a 25-year-old black man, according to police.

The shooter struck another rider in the BMW, a 23-year-old black woman, in the arm, police say.. She was taken to Northwestern Hospital in stable condition.

The SUV—which contained an unknown number of people—fled Southbound, according to police, and no suspects have been taken into custody.

“It is believed the involved parties had contact prior to the incident,” a police spokesman said.
