Two men are dead after occupants of an SUV opened fire on their vehicle while the two vehicles traveled westbound in the 100 block of West North Avenue on Sunday morning. Police said the shooting may stem from an earlier argument between the two parties. No one is in custody.
Witnesses reported hearing shots near a Shell gas station around 5:55 a.m. The victims’ red Buick crashed into a light pole in the 1600 block of North Sedgwick moments later while the offender’s car turned north on La Salle Drive, police said. At least a dozen bullet holes were in the sedan, according to CPD, and the occupant of a second-floor apartment reported their window shot out in the 1500 block of North La Salle.

Chicago police said in a statement that both victims are “known to police.” State and CPD records show that Matthews served prison time for a gun charge and he was charged with another felony gun violation after being paroled last year.
