Graciela Moreno was walking in the Back of the Yards neighborhood with her granddaughters, Anais Ramirez and Daniela Fuentes, at around 2 p.m. when a 1988 BMW ran a stop sign, hit a 1994 Buick Century and then struck Moreno and the two girls. Moreno and Ramirez were killed and Fuentes, 6, was critically injured. The BMW's driver, Michael Young, 41, was caught and arrested shortly after the crash. Some witnesses said a grey unmarked police other was pursuing the BMW, and that both cars ran a red light shortly before the accident. Francisco Moreno said he saw a plainclothes officer get out of one of the cars and arrest a man. Police said there was no pursuit. "A tactical unit was already in the area and responded to the call," said spokeswoman Monique Bond.
