Two men accused of leading police on a chase from Chicago to Elmhurst are being held without bond Sunday morning, according to online jail records.

Devonte Walton, 22, and Antonio Heard, 24, both of Chicago, have been charged with two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm by a street gang member in a vehicle and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon in connection with a Friday night shooting on the west side of Chicago, which lead to the police chase on Interstate 290, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Two Chicago boys, a 16-year-old and 17-year-old, have also been charged in connection with the incident but their names are not being released since the crimes will be handled in juvenile court.

The four were apprehended in Berens Park, Elmhurst Police Cmdr. Len Kolpak told the Chicago Tribune in an earlier article.

Chicago police report shots were fired from one car into another in the 3800 block of West Madison Street around 11 p.m. Police pursued the shooter’s car onto I-290. Illinois State Police spotted the car in Elmhurst, where Elmhurst police caught the suspects. Two weapons were found, police said.

The car also was reported stolen.
