An 18-year-old woman was killed Friday night when a 24-year-old woman rammed her into a tree with her vehicle in the Morgan Park neighborhood on the Far South Side, police said.

Following an argument between the two, the older woman got into her vehicle and chased the younger woman along a sidewalk about 11:10 p.m. in the 11400 block of South May, Chicago Police said. The older women then rammed the younger woman’s body against a tree with her vehicle multiple times.
