CHICAGO -- A man was killed and a woman wounded in a shooting in the outbound lanes of the Chicago Skyway on the Southeast Side on Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.

A 23-year-old man was dead on the scene and a 23-year-old woman was shot in the arm. The woman is in stable condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

The man was later identified as Elliot Brown, a former star football and basketball player at De La Salle High School on Chicago’s South Sde.

Police say Brown and the woman were driving in a BMW coupe when they were shot by someone in a black SUV.

Police say the shooter fled from the scene traveling southbound. Authorities are looking for the SUV.

Emergency crews were called to the scene at 9800 South around 1:30 p.m., fire officials said. The outbound Skyway was shut down while the shooting was investigated, according to state and city transportation officials. All lanes were later reopened.

Police say they believe the victims and the shooter had prior contact before this incident.

So far in 2016, Chicago is averaging 10 people shot every day. Police are blaming the uptick on gang violence.
