A tweet from the Factory Chicago read: "God called his soldier home, R.I.P. Charles Jones."

A cousin of the female victim, Andrew Holmes, said the pair was sideswiped while driving in Jones' 2007 Maserati and was shot while approaching the driver of the other vehicle.

No other details were immediately available on the shooting.
