The driver of a silver Lexus was shot to death as he drove on Lake Shore Drive near Fullerton Avenue early Wednesday.



Jorge Navarro, 25, was heading south around 3:45 a.m. when another car pulled up and someone opened fire, striking him in the chest, police said.



Navarro crashed into the center median. He was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Two other people in the car were not hurt.



Police were investigating whether the shooting was gang-related, officials said.



Officers blocked off the southbound lanes from Belmont Avenue to Chicago Avenue for nearly three hours as officers with flashlights searched for evidence. Several squad cars surrounded the Lexus.
