The shooting happened on Sept. 20 in the 3600-block of North Elston Avenue, according to Chicago police.

The 27-year-old woman was driving when someone in front of her abruptly stopped their vehicle, which led to a crash near a local Jiffy Lube, police said.

She was shot during a confrontation with another driver at about 3:10 p.m.

At the time, Chicago police said the 27-year-old was an off-duty CPD officer.

Nearly three years after shooting, a suburban man was charged in the shooting.

Llovani Gomez, 35, was arrested in the 100-block of South Martin Luther King Avenue in Waukegan on Tuesday.

He was charged with two felony counts of attempted murder and one felony count of aggravated battery with a firearm.

Gomez is also charged in a deadly Gurnee road rage shooting in 2021.

He's next due in court June 23.
