According to Chicago police, the devastating events took place on a Saturday morning, just before 8:30 a.m., along the 2000-block of East 103rd Street. As 22-year-old Isis Ogunti was driving westbound, another vehicle approached. Without warning, someone from inside the vehicle began firing shots.

In the chaos that ensued, both vehicles continued their paths until Ogunti’s SUV tragically collided with a tree. The impact of the crash inflicted injuries that proved fatal, and Ogunti was pronounced dead after being transported to the hospital.

Ogunti was not alone in the vehicle. A 28-year-old male passenger was also involved in the crash and sustained serious injuries. He was rushed to the hospital for treatment, while the driver of the other vehicle managed to flee the scene, leaving authorities in search of answers.

A 28-year-old man in Ogunti’s car was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

The other vehicle’s driver sped away.

Ogunti’s mother says her boyfriend was injured in the shooting, and that her daughter tried to rush to the hospital, and that’s when she lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a tree.

Ogunti’s mother says she called her during her final moments alive, but she didn’t know what had already unfolded.

“When I answered the FaceTime, she wasn’t on there. But I saw blue, which I’m assuming now was the sky. Her phone must’ve fell out the car,” mother Kashia Collins said. “I know it was her final moments, and I also know that I’m happy that I was the last call that she made.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact Chicago police.
