The 27-year old was a passenger in a blue Honda that was making a turn when it crashed into an Acura. The driver of the Acura continued driving and stopped when the car caught on fire. The occupants abandoned the car and left the scene on foot.

Ballistics tests show the .45-caliber handgun used in a Jan. 9 terror spree that started on the South Side and ended in Evanston leaving four people dead and three wounded had been used in previous “shooting incidents” in Chicago, police said.
Tom Ahern, a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department, said he didn’t know whether anyone was killed or wounded in the earlier shootings or when and where they took place.
Investigators have tested the gun that authorities say Jason Nightengale used in the spree earlier this month and have linked it to bullet casings found at other shooting incidents in Chicago that remain under investigation, Ahern said.
Marta Torres, 61, of Evanston died after she was critically wounded at an Evanston IHOP in the 100-block of Asbury Avenue last Saturday.
She is one of seven people shot and three others killed by 32-year-old Jason Nightengale, according to police. Among the other victims killed was 30-year-old University of Chicago Ph.D. student Yiran Fan, 46-year-old mother of two Aisha Johnson, and 20-year-old Anthony Faulkner who had just moved back to Chicago.
The three victims killed in a shooting rampage Saturday have been identified as family and friends reel from the senseless loss of their loved ones.
Yiran was the first of the seven victims and was found shot to death in a Hyde Park parking garage. Friends remember him as a brilliant student and a positive, loving person.
