A Chicago rideshare driver was shot and critically injured while dropping off a passenger in the Austin neighborhood on Wednesday night.
Around 10:10 p.m., the 51-year-old was dropping off a fare when three males approached his car on foot in the 900 block of North LeClaire Street, according to police. The suspects took the driver’s phone and ordered him to exit the vehicle.
When the driver refused to stop, one of the suspects opened fire, striking him in the chest.
The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital by paramedics and was listed in critical condition.
As Area Four detectives conduct their investigation, no one is in custody.
