The tragic incident took place in June 2024 along South Kedzie Avenue, in the 8300 block, just before midnight.
Footage from surveillance cameras captures the chilling events leading to the crash. Gunshots were heard shortly before the fatal impact occurred.
Authorities report that a black SUV was traveling south on Kedzie when it collided with a white sedan moving west on 83rd Street.
The video above is sourced from an earlier report.
The white sedan was sent into the nearby Starlight Restaurant. The power of the crash knocked the engine out of the white sedan.
Police said the driver of the white sedan died at the scene, while three male suspects got out of the black SUV and ran away.
Nohemy Carvajal said her son Raul Palacios was killed in the crash.
Nearly two years after the crash police arrested Dujan Lucas, 24 of Rockford.
He was arrested on Thursday in the 2600 block of S. California Avenue.
Lucas was charged with two felony counts: reckless homicide with a motor vehicle and failure to report accident/death.
