CHICAGO _ A man with a concealed carry permit told police he shot and killed another man who ran into the back of his BMW in Chicago's Loop and then demanded the keys to the car at gunpoint early Friday, authorities said.
The owner of the 2015 BMW said his car was rear-ended by a Volkswagen at Ida B. Wells Drive and State Street around 4:30 a.m. The man said he got out to look at the damage and then went back to the BMW to get his cell phone.
The driver of the Volkswagen walked up with a gun and demanded the keys, pushing the other man into the BMW, police said. Both were inside the BMW when the owner grabbed his own gun and shot the other man, 22, in the head.
The driver of the BMW, 41, was being questioned by detectives at the Area Central police station. Police said he had a license to carry a gun.
The Congress Parkway was renamed Ida B. Wells Drive in February to honor Wells, a pioneering journalist.
