BELLWOOD, Ill. (WLS) — All inbound lanes of I-290 are shut down from just before the 25th Avenue exit near Bellwood after a police shooting Thursday afternoon.CPD Superintendent David Brown said around 4 p.m., officers were in the western suburbs surveilling a suspect in the murder of 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams. When they tried to pull the suspect over while heading eastbound on the Eisenhower Expressway, the suspect fled and crashed on the side of the highway near Mannheim Road. He then attempted to carjack another family’s car that had stopped in the traffic on the expressway, police said.
Officers then shot the suspect, Brown said. The suspect sustained non-life threatening injuries, Brown said, and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Two firearms were recovered. Brown said it was not immediately clear if the suspect also fired at police or not.
Brown said other people were involved in the incident and there are other suspects involved in the investigation, but would not give any further details about that. He said the man who was shot was the only person taken into custody Thursday.
Adams was shot and killed last weekend while in a car with her father, in a McDonald’s drive-thru in Homan Square. She was shot six times.
