Police: 9-Year-Old Chicago Boy 'Lured' Into Alley and Shot - ABC News
Quote:
A 9-year-old Chicago boy who was fatally shot this week was "lured" from a park into an alley and executed because of his father's alleged gang connections, police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said Thursday in a crime he described as among the most "unfathomable" of his 35 years in policing.
Tyshawn Lee, an elementary school student headed to his grandmother's house, was shot in the head and back Monday in a neighborhood alley on the city's South Side.
McCarthy told reporters Thursday that the slaying was the result of two gangs fighting, potentially in a string of retaliatory events dating back months. He said the boy's father isn't cooperating with police.
McCarthy called it probably the "most abhorrent, cowardly unfathomable crime that I've witnessed in 35 years of policing."
"Everybody is sick; everybody is disgusted."
The child's father, Pierre Stokes, has disagreed with authorities' characterization of him and said he's easy to find. He hasn't talked about whether he's a gang member but said police have spent more time pursuing him than finding out who killed his son.
"I answered every question they asked me," he told reporters Thursday not far from the spot his son was killed. "They're not asking me questions that I know. I don't know the questions that they asked me."
A memorial for the boy ***8212; stuffed animals, candles and balloons ***8212; lingers in the alley.
Police have executed several search warrants in the investigation, but refuse to release details. A "person of interest" turned himself into police Wednesday and was released between late Wednesday and early Thursday without charges.
Authorities have said they know the gangs and individuals involved but need help assessing who did what. They reiterated a plea for any information that will help lead to charges, acknowledging fears people may have of being targeted for speaking out.
"We'll take those steps to keep it as quiet as we can," McCarthy said.
At least $35,000 is being offered for information leading to charges in connection with the boy's death. Members of the Faith Community of St. Sabina, a well-known South Side Roman Catholic church, have raised money from around the country.
The Rev. Michael Pfleger, a priest at St. Sabina who is known for his anti-violence activism, said he would pay money out of his own pocket to help anyone with information move from Chicago.
"This was not a drive-by. This was not a spray of bullets. A baby was executed," Pfleger said. "We have gone to a new low that's removed what used to be some codes, some barriers, some lines that used to be drawn in the community, some things in our city that were not acceptable."

No ****,
The point of this thread is that it made front page news, not that it happened.

Where Jesse Jackson? Oh, he only appears if a white person is involved and there's money to be extorted.

Oh right. We should praise Obama because it involves a form of necromancy that will bring the boy back to life.

I think they just miss dancing around a fire naked in the jungle. Each city should build a little jungle where they can go and hunt wilder-beast and jump up and down with hoops around neck with **** out. Less KFC, more spears and elephants. Help them.

Or maybe you could have just refrained from using a tragedy to make an irrelevant and inappropriate political jab.

LouCypher made a satirical, politicized post 2 days ago referencing the Sandy Hook shooting. That shooting resulted in 27 dead (same as his post), largely took place in a classroom, and included many children younger than the 9 year old victim in Chicago.

In response to a post by Smiling Canadian who (like Scooby) used someone's death to interject a comment about gun control.

When something like Sandy Hook happens, gun nuts will say "don't blame the gun, blame the shooter", but when it's a 9 year old black kid being murdered in Chicago they blame Obama.
Maybe if little Tyshawn had a gun this wouldn't have happened.
nb4 someone says "That little ****** already had a gun"
