In each incident, someone entered a person’s vehicle armed with a black handgun, struck the person in the face with the gun, and demanded the person get out the car, Chicago police said in a community alert.

The .45-caliber Glock pistol Jason Nightengale used in a January killing spree that began on the South Side and ended in Evanston was likely used in five prior shootings in Chicago dating to 2009, according to police reports obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
Nightengale, 32, killed five people, including a University of Chicago student in an East Hyde Park parking garage, a doorwoman of a nearby condo building, a convenience-store worker on the South Side, a woman he took hostage at an IHOP restaurant in Evanston and a 15-year-old girl, Damia Smith, who fought for her life for more than three weeks at Comer Children’s Hospital before she died.
Dramatic footage released by the Evanston Police Department shows the chaotic scene after a man wanted in connection to four separate shooting deaths in Chicago.
