Iona basketball recruit killed in shooting outside his Chicago house trying to break up a fight
The gun violence which has plagued Chicago all summer took the life of one of the city's most promising athletes, just as he was preparing to depart for a bright future in college basketball.
As confirmed by the Chicago Sun-Times, New York Daily News and a variety of other sources, Iona basketball recruit Michael Haynes was shot dead on Thursday night in Chicago. According to Haynes' cousin, the 6-foot-7 forward was shot in front of his house while trying to break up a fight, with bullets piercing his wrist, chest and lower back.
The Sun Times reported that Haynes was transported to a nearby hospital shortly after the attack, but died a little more than an hour after being shot.
Haynes' cousin, 25-year-old Kandice Blouin, said that Haynes was a completely innocent victim in the altercation that took his life.
"He was an innocent victim, very loved by everybody," Blouin told the Sun-Times. "He was our meal ticket.
He was going to heal this hood and they took his life."
Haynes, who recently completed a year at Indian Hills Community College after playing for two Chicago high schools -- Washington and Fenger -- and Heat Academy in Virginia, was seen as a bright spot in Iona incoming class, both because of his talent and personality. His coach at Indian Hills, Barret Peery, previously described Haynes in an interview with SNY.tv as a versatile power forward who can run the floor and can defend against multiple positions. Perhaps most notable, he was frequently lauded for his immense passion for the game.
