Clements was shot on March 12 on Interstate 90. Her car had been seen parked on a gravel dead-end road by the Fox River in Elgin earlier, but she drove off when an officer approached. Her car was then seen headed onto the tollway, but she tried to drive off while officers attempted to get her out of the car. At one point, as an officer yelled for her to exit the vehicle, she told an officer that she should would after finishing her cigarette. She appeared animated and disheveled while interacting with officers.
