7-year-old girl fatally shot while selling candy on West Side of Chicago | theGrio

A 7-year-old girl was fatally struck in the back Wednesday night outside her family’s home in Chicago’s North Austin neighborhood.

The girl, identified as Heaven Sutton, was selling candy with her mother and playing with friends around 10:30 p.m. in the 1700 block of North Luna when shots rang out. Heaven tried running inside, her mother said, but she was hit by gunfire.

“There were two guys,” said Malik Ellis, Heaven’s brother. “I saw one come out of the gangway. He walked into the middle of the street and started shooting.”

Heaven was rushed to an area hospital where she later died. A 19-year-old man was shot in the ankle and is listed in good condition at Loyola University Medical Center.

The girl’s mother, Ashake Banks, said the soon-to-be second-grader told her on several occasions she wanted her family to move out of the violent neighborhood. Banks said Heaven was a sweet, smart girl.

1045 pm she was out selling candy. Smh. Sad ass shyt tho, it shouldve never happened.

i was just reading and this is just sad, a 7 year old should not be outside at 10:45 especially if the neighborhood was as dangerous as they say it was.

To be out that late, apparently nose candy.

Why don't get his boy to impose Marshall Law on Chicago and end it already?

Shame. Another young life lost to senseless violence.

I wouldn't let my child be out that late and I stay in a nice suburb.

RIP Heaven

smh...the poor kid had more sense than her dumb ass mother


n ot putting the blame on the mother though, the shooter is the one at fault without a doubt. but a little parental common sense could have avoided this
