âItâs too muchâ: 2 murdered grandchildren in 6 months - Chicago Sun-Times
The two teens came from one of those large families that are known by most folks on the block because they’ve lived there so long.
Florine and John Monroe — the grandparents of Modell McCambry, 17, who was killed Saturday night, and his cousin, Miles Turner, 18, who was critically injured in the same shooting — had raised six girls in their Woodlawn home in the 6500 block of South Rhodes.
In the course of more than 30 years, they also raised several of their nearly 40 grandchildren and great-grandchildren in that home.
This year, the deadly violence that has wracked Chicago’s inner city came calling on this large family, not once, but twice. Another grandchild was murdered six months ago.
