A man was shot Thursday as he drove on the Dan Ryan Expressway with a woman and infant in the car near Garfield Boulevard.
He was the fifth shooting victim on Chicago expressways this week as state police face a surge in shootings, which more than doubled in 2020 over the previous year.
Troopers were called about 1:15 p.m. to a shooting in the inbound local lanes, Illinois State Police spokeswoman Elizabeth Clausing said in a statement.
Paramedics found the gunshot victim, a 24-year-old man, near 35th Street and Wentworth Avenue, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford.
