Elliott Brown, 25, was fatally shot on January 13, 2016, while driving on the Chicago Skyway. The shooting happened in the afternoon; multiple shots were fired, striking Brown and causing him to lose control of the vehicle. He died at the scene. A female passenger was wounded and taken to the hospital.

The attack occurred amid a surge of homicides in Chicago in 2016, a year that recorded over 760 murders. Reports linked the rise to gang-related conflicts, gun violence, and broader community challenges; limited witness cooperation complicated investigators efforts to identify the shooters. The fact this happened on a busy highway underscored concerns about how far the violence was reaching.

If anyone remembers details about the Skyway shooting or saw relevant activity that afternoon, please share what is known with investigators.
