CHICAGO (CBS) -- A woman was killed and a man was critically injured in a shooting Tuesday afternoon on DuSable Lake Shore Drive in the Kenwood neighborhood.

Police said, around 1:15 p.m., a man and woman were in a car in the southbound lanes of DuSable Lake Shore Drive near 45th Street, when they were shot.

The car they were in ended up near an apartment complex at 5036 S. East End Av. It's unclear if the two were driving for help, and that was as far as they got.

A 26-year-old woman was shot in the head, and a 31-year-old man was shot in the body and legs. 

Both victims were taken to University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition. The woman was later pronounced dead.

No one was in custody Tuesday afternoon.

Area 1 detectives were investigating.
