Lavonshay Cooper, a 22-year-old African American man from Chicago, was killed early on January 6, 2013, after the vehicle he was riding in was shot while traveling northbound on the Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/94) between the 18th Street and Canal Street exits. The driver, realizing the car had been shot, drove to Rush University Medical Center, where Cooper was pronounced dead at 3:05 a.m. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed his death.

One passenger was wounded and later treated and released from John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County. The driver was uninjured and another passenger fled the scene. There were no immediate witnesses and the Illinois State Police did not have a description of the shooter’s vehicle. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced and the investigation remains open.

Does anyone have information about that night on the Dan Ryan Expressway or remember seeing a vehicle involved between the 18th Street and Canal Street exits?
