Denise Huguelet, a 67-year-old retired special education teacher from Orland Park, Illinois, was fatally shot on August 17, 2021 while traveling on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago. The shooting happened about 10 p.m. near Marquette Road when Huguelet was struck by a bullet after a shootout between two vehicles; she was on her way home from a White Sox game with her husband, Michael.When Illinois State Police patrolling the expressway heard the gunfire they responded and pursued two vehicles seen speeding from the scene.

Officers stopped the chase at 61st Street and Ashland Avenue in West Englewood and recovered a firearm from one vehicle; two suspects were taken into custody but were released without charges soon after because investigators said there wasn’t sufficient evidence to prosecute. Authorities said the investigation is ongoing.Huguelet taught for 24 years at Central Middle School in Evergreen Park and was remembered by former students and colleagues for her supportive, nurturing approach.

Does anyone who was on the Dan Ryan that night or who knew Denise have information that could help the investigation?
