CHICAGO, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Chicago police are holding a suspect in the death of a man who climbed onto the roof of his van after it was stolen by a carjacker.
Eric Holmes, 23, was killed when the carjacker tried to shake him off by driving the vehicle into a concrete barrier on Chicago's Dan Ryan Expressway, The Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.
Police say Holmes was stopped at a gas station Tuesday night when a man jumped into his van and drove off.
Holmes grabbed the vehicle's luggage rack and pulled himself onto the roof as the van entered the expressway and headed north.
A witness said Holmes was trying to enter the vehicle through the passenger door when the driver rammed into the concrete barrier.
