An 18-year-old man who died in an alleged carjacking Wednesday afternoon in the Loop neighborhood has been identified, officials said.
Shortly before 5:45 p.m. Wednesday, a female victim, whose exact age was not given by police, was in the first block of East Lake Street in an Infiniti FX35 when a male and a female entered her vehicle. A struggle ensued between the victim and the alleged carjackers while the vehicle moved forward, and the vehicle struck a column. The impact of the crash trapped the individuals inside, police said.
The Chicago Fire Department arrived on the scene and extracted everyone from the vehicle. The male suspect was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was identified as Elijah Treadwell, 18, of the Uptown neighborhood, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
The victim also was taken to Northwestern but her condition was not available.

GOOD NEWS from Chicago!​

Posted on | January 5, 2023 | No Comments

Given the unrelenting grimness of the city’s crime wave — 735 people were murdered in Chicago last year, and another 2,937 were wounded by gunfire — it’s not often we hear anything positive, hopeful and uplifting from Cook County, but here’s a reason to smile:
A carjacker was killed in the Loop on Thursday evening when the victim fought back, accelerated her car, and slammed into a beam that supports the L tracks, Chicago police said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified the deceased man as 18-year-old Elijah Treadwell of Uptown.
Treadwell and a 16-year-old female accomplice entered an Infiniti FX35 in the 100 block of East Lake and tried to carjack a woman around 5:42 p.m., officials said. A struggle ensued, and the victim’s car accelerated into the L support column near Wabash Avenue, trapping the victim and both offenders inside, police said.
Chicago Fire Department workers extracted everyone and took them to hospitals. Treadwell was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The female and the victim have both been stabilized, according to the fire department.
