Isis Ogunti ID'd as woman killed in Chicago shooting, car crash on 103rd Street; family offering $12K reward for arrest
A Chicago family is offering a $12,000 reward for information after a woman was shot and killed on her way to work, just days before Christmas.
Chicago police said it happened on Saturday in the 2000-block of East 103rd Street just before 8:30 a.m., in the South Deering area on the city's Far South Side.
Isis Ogunti, 22, was driving westbound when another vehicle pulled up, and someone inside fired shots, police said.
Police said both vehicles continued traveling until the SUV hit a tree. Ogunti suffered injuries from the crash and later died at the hospital.
A 28-year-old man in Ogunti's car was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
The other vehicle's driver sped away.
Ogunti's mother says her boyfriend was injured in the shooting, and that her daughter tried to rush to the hospital, and that's when she lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a tree.
Ogunti's mother says she called her during her final moments alive, but she didn't know what had already unfolded.
"When I answered the FaceTime, she wasn't on there. But I saw blue, which I'm assuming now was the sky. Her phone must've fell out the car," mother Kashia Collins said. "I know it was her final moments, and I also know that I'm happy that I was the last call that she made."
Anyone with information is urged to contact Chicago police.
