3 slain in separate shootings
Three people were killed Sunday in separate shootings on the city's South and West Sides, Chicago police said.
At about 10:45 p.m., Darrious Blackmon, 23, was found shot outside a home in the 500 block of North Lawler Avenue. Blackman, of the 5000 block of West Ohio Street, was pronounced dead at Mt. Sinai Hospital. Police said the victim was known to have gang affiliations. It was unclear, however, if the shooting was gang-related. No arrests have been made.
About 30 minutes earlier on the South Side, a 38-year-old man was fatally shot near West 85th and South Elizabeth Streets, police said. The victim was identified as Steve Huff of the 9500 block of South Marshfield Avenue, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. Police had no further details this morning.
And police were questioning a "person of interest" in the fatal Sunday morning shooting of a 21-year-old man in the Englewood neighborhood. Brian Cooper, 21, was shot at about 12:40 a.m. as he walked through a vacant lot in the 1100 block of West 69th Street. He was leaving a party with friends, police said.
Cooper, of the 6900 block of South Peoria Street, was pronounced dead at 6:04 p.m. at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, a medical examiner's official said.
So in the "gun free" zone of Chicago, gang bangers are still running rampant and high crime areas remain high crime. Maybe they need more cameras.
