A man killed in a shooting that led to a crash that injured three other people last week in the South Side Englewood neighborhood has been identified as Nathaniel Lewis-Edwards of south suburban Lansing.
Lewis, 31, was letting a passenger out of his vehicle about 4 p.m. Thursday in the 7100 block of South Morgan when someone approached and began shooting, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
He tried to drive away after being shot, but was involved in a crash with three other vehicles. Firefighters and police were initially called about the crash, authorities said.
Edwards was found inside his vehicle with a gunshot wound to the chest, and was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:28 p.m., according to police and the medical examiner’s office. He lived in the 18100 block of Crystal Lane in Lansing.
A 21-year-old woman who was inside Lewis’ vehicle was taken in good condition to Saint Bernard Hospital with minor injuries, police said.
A 63-year-old woman and 5-year-old boy, who were inside another vehicle involved in the crash, suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening, police said. The woman was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, and the boy to Comer Children’s Hospital. Both of their conditions were stabilized.
