A Chicago man has been charged with the first-degree murder of a Joliet man who was shot following a road rage incident on the Interstate 80 entrance in New Lenox.
On Tuesday evening, Phillip Rogers, 45, was taken to the Will County jail on a charge of the first-degree murder of Lenier Clayton, 30, and a charge of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.

Rogers was later located by police and taken into custody.
