CHICAGO - A Chicago man is accused of being involved in a shooting that stemmed from a road rage incident Monday.
Jalynn L, Powell, 21, was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm and aggravated fleeing and eluding.
At about 8:30 p.m. Monday, Illinois State Police District Chicago Troopers responded to Interstate 57 northbound near 147th Street for a reported expressway shooting.
