Samuel Garrett, 22, of Chicago was killed on April 12, 2021, after a shooting on the Eisenhower (Interstate 290) near the Damen Avenue offramp. Garrett was driving west on the offramp with four friends when his vehicle was struck; his car crashed on the offramp and an empty vehicle was found crashed in a traffic lane at Ashland Avenue. Garrett was the only occupant who suffered critical injuries; he was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead at 12:50 a.m. His cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds and the manner of death was ruled homicide.

The state police violent crimes unit led the investigation, served multiple residential search warrants and arrested 33-year-old Antwan Carter of Chicago. The Cook County state’s attorney approved charges against Carter related to the April shooting, including one count of murder and three counts of attempted murder. Carter was ordered held on $1 million bail, with 10% required for release from Cook County Jail. The case is one of many expressway shootings the state police say have surged on Cook County highways this year.

Did anyone who was on or near the Eisenhower that night see or hear anything that could help the investigation?
