CHICAGO, IL — A Lane Tech student was killed Sunday evening when he was hit by a Metra train less than two hours after he went missing. WGN reported a Metra spokesperson confirmed 17-year-old Sincere Ash was hit by a Metra Union Pacific train near the Clybourn Station on North Ashland, and was found dead at the scene around 6 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.

Ash was last seen around 4:15 p.m. Sunday at Lollapalooza, according to a missing person flier posted on social media, and Chicago police said a missing person report had been filed for the Chicago teen.
