Mother loses second son to violence; 1 of 9 killed, 17 wounded - Chicago Sun-Times

Nearly 20 years ago, gunfire left Jamel Shepard a paraplegic.

On Saturday, as he sat in his wheelchair on the front porch of the family’s Austin home, Shepard found himself in the line of fire.

This time it killed him.

His 61-year-old mother, Margaret Shepard, said her son was outside visiting with at least one other man just after noon Saturday when the shooting started outside in the 4900 block of West Washington Boulevard. She was in the kitchen, unloading groceries, when she heard two gunshots “and they were really close.”

“I thought ‘oh my goodness, what is going on here?’ ” Shepard said, noting that she walked through the family’s apartment toward the front of the residence. “As I walked through the dining room, I could hear three more shots.”

They shot a kid on Michigan. I swear I'm going to have to start wearing a suit even on the weekends. I look like who they think is doing all the crime if I don't.

It's getting pretty common walking around and spotting yellow tape situations in areas that are considered "safe."

Lots more boots on the grounds in my neighborhood. Thank god they are laying off loud to focus on all the madness. My delivery guy is hella chill these days because all the heat is off guys like him. Lol.

Dudes used to get street justice for fukking with people they weren't supposed to (kids, women, old folks, etc). They don't even care if kids are around, always on some covert shyt trying to shoot nikkas from a distance.
