A violent car chase ended with a Streeterville shooting near Navy Pier that killed a 27-year-old man and wounded a 20-year-old woman.
The two people shot were inside their car on the West Side when a silver truck approached and someone inside began shooting, Chicago police said. The two drove toward downtown to flee the gunfire, but the shooter followed, apparently all the way to the lakefront.

The gunman continued to fire shots downtown on Grand Avenue, police said. Police listed the address of the shooting as 600 E. Grand Ave., the same address for Navy Pier. The food, shopping and entertainment space is one of Chicago’s most popular tourist attractions.
The 27-year-old man driving the escaping car was shot multiple times in his torso around 3:11 a.m. Paramedics transported him to Northwestern Hospital in critical condition before he was pronounced dead, police added.
