Several witnesses reported seeing a man jump out of a vehicle and forcibly take the victim’s black Honda around 8:30PM. Both cars sped off, leaving the 35-year-old woman standing in the middle of the street, police said.
Less than five minutes later, officers found the car sitting in a southbound lane of Inner Lake Shore Drive, just north of Belmont Avenue. Incredibly, the victim’s purse was still inside of the car.
The gunman is described as a 6-foot-tall black man in his mid-20’s who wore a black jacket and a black hat.
