Steven Hudson, a 39-year-old African American man from Chicago, was killed on April 20, 2016, while driving southbound on Interstate 57 near the Cal-Sag Channel in Calumet Park. Hudson was in a rental gray Ford Fusion when another vehicle pulled alongside and opened fire; his car sustained multiple bullet holes and then crashed into a concrete barrier. First responders found Hudson with a gunshot wound to the head and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators reported a loaded 9mm handgun on the driver’s side floor of Hudson’s car, though it was unclear whether that weapon had been fired. Illinois State Police closed the southbound lanes of I-57 for hours to collect evidence and search for shell casings, but no description of the suspect vehicle emerged and no motive was determined. There were no immediate arrests and the case remained open as officers sought leads.

Does anyone who was driving the I-57 area that day or who may have seen a gray Ford Fusion near the Cal-Sag Channel have information that could help investigators?
