The 31-year-old male driver had stopped at a red light in the 1000 block of West Roosevelt shortly after 9 p.m. when four men in a silver SUV pulled next to the car and fired shots, police said.
A memorial of roses and candles on Feb. 21, 2023, marks the scene where a ride-share driver was fatally shot at Roosevelt Road and Blue Island in Chicago’s Little Italy neighborhood.
The 31-year-old male driver had stopped at a red light at the intersection of Roosevelt Road and Blue Island Avenue shortly after 9 p.m. when four men in a silver SUV pulled next to him and someone inside fired shots at the ride-share vehicle, police said.The driver suffered multiple gunshot times to the torso and the Chicago Fire Department transported him to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:05 p.m., authorities said.
“My heart goes out and my sincere condolences to both victims of this shooting and this horrible murder,” said Andy Thomashow of Justice for App Workers. “Until legislatively, the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois do something about this — and set aside the gun violence side — it has to do with the inability of the ride-share companies to provide appropriate safety to their drivers.”
