A man was arrested hours after I-55 road-rage shooting
On Friday, Illinois State Police troopers responded to an expressway shooting at around 8:36 a.m. on northbound I-55 near Damen Avenue.
Daniel Zaragoza, 22, allegedly fired a weapon at another vehicle, striking the driver.
The victim was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
State police quickly identified Zaragoza as the suspect and took him into custody later that evening, shortly before midnight.
On Sunday, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office charged Zaragoza with one count of aggravated battery with a firearm, a Class X felony. He was held in custody ahead of his first court appearance.
