#Chicago #News #NBCNews
Chicago will never care…
USA will never care.
Try americans. This kind of thing happens in every state all the time. People are desensitized to this. They lack compassion.
I can’t ever understand harming innocent people. She clearly was someone who was just minding her own buisness trying to care for her child. People r sick.
??? How do you know that your first 2 sentences are fact??
Idk about that the fact they left the kid alive tells me the wanted her dead for a reason.
Now granted it could just be a disgruntled Ex.
Some people just don’t care, it’s called lack of empathy.
Shot in the beginning of life. Now a child left without a mother and grandfather. Who would do such a thing? Land sharks are all over. Walking among us. Great, the two-year-old son unharmed. But why?
Ex will be top of the list.
Random nut jobs are also a potential option – like the university students.
Glad they found the baby in time cause he would’ve starved
Or gotten into something
A horrible situation, but al least the toddler was saved.
They still live in Chicago id say thats far from “safe”
Stalker, ex boyfriend or both as one
Protect the public, say where the crime happened: 8148 South Drexel Ave.
Oooh shot..what a surprise!!
How did no one else hear them get shot???
Its Chicago..People have become numb to gunshot..
I would investigate her baby’s father or boyfriend
Poor baby, how could anyone do this. 😭
You got some pretty evil 👿 mutha 🤬 in this world!!! It’s scary to even think about
Such a great city i would definitely move there
Chicago is a great city
For statistics
This going to get as much coverage as those 4 college kids?
Sad, but true, Nope.
That would be nice especially since a child was involved and is now without their mother and grandfather.
@Jill Campbell she does not fit the narrative for todays news. Athena strand fit the narrative. Im sorry but its true. We need to do better. These kids deserve the adults to do better in this country.
@johnfd0210 obviously not
Well no. 4 young college students butchered in a small town in Idaho is more shocking and scary than 2 more people shot in Chicago. Chicago gun violence is a daily occurence, barely newsworthy unfortunately
So sad rip
War, violent crime, and abortion are the hallmarks of the Democratic Party. They have zero regard for human life.
drugs
Big apartment complex wonder if it’s somebody that’s been stalking.
Stalker would’ve killed the kid, first
Them leaving the baby unharmed seems like unpaid debt or something super personal
F’n black people man my God. Can’t figure out why people are racist against them🤪
Maybe giving everyone easy access to guns wasn’t such a great idea. Easy access includes both legal and illegal guns, 400 million in total causing over 44,000 deaths each year including 4,400 children.
And the sad thing is there’s NOTHING that would pry these weapons out of there hands NO MATTER HOW MANY TRAGEDIES we continue to witness
@Bruce Beamon Too true. There’s more guns in America than there are Americans. The cat is out of the bag. No law or movement will ever be able to get rid of them.
NOBODY is “ GIVING access” to guns!
SOMEBODY is GUNRUNNING Street Guns!
The Police have DRONE Surveillance 24/7 ; even ARMED drones!
THIS SURELY IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO STOP THE GUNRUNNING,
But SOMEBODY is allowing it to happen!
So sad I seen another site that stated her mother died when she was a baby and was raised by her dad now her baby is left without her.. prayers 🙏🏾
Oh wow!
I wonder if the babys father killed her so he could have the kid
Excuse my honesty…..
The mom was absolutely gorgeous. When you look good, have your own place, you want to survive.
Unfortunately, many women who live in the hood for cheap rents (I’m a landlord and I manage units from 78th to 83rd, Cottage Grove, Drexel, Ingleside, Maryland, and Ellis) a majority of my tenants are either senior OR young black WOMEN trying to survive.
The issue comes into place when these women start fraternizing with the male element in the neighborhood, as a black man myself, I see it all too often. Ladies get a nice one bed for 700, heat inc, and first thing first, they give pookie and ray ray a key.
Then when pookie cheats and you try to kick him out, or his jealous baby mama gets mad and involved, it’s domestic violence. Every. Single. Time.
If I was the detectives, I’d start on her social media, who was she arguing with, what’s the baby daddy’s name, were they at odds?
This happens a LOT nowadays, especially the pretty ones.
Regards,
T
@G Hadi take your own advice G. you got waaay too worked up over a comment on youtube lmao, go out and get a girlfriend or something. i think you’ve been in your moms basement too long
@ant wto this is too funny you judge everyone around you, who ever damaged you did a good job, bc you are crazy
@sidewalkid
Sorry but it’s facts. He ain’t lying. I know this first hand, unfortunately. 😢 I hate seeing these bums living off a woman acting like he pay the bills 💵 when he really don’t.
@Sandy Cheeks this dude created an entire fantasy in his head where he the landlord gets cucked by two men preying on the “attractive single mother”
Chicago is a violent city (I’ve lived there) the thugs that live there dont need a reason to murder anyone
My original comment was aimed at the OP where they assumed poor people live in bad areas because its a cheat code because the rent is cheap there rather than its all they can afford
@ Sandy she didn’t put out for a booty call is my guess, the grandfather was a unfortunate habitant of residence.
Baby daddy fam?
All shoots from every city in each state is blacks shooting blacks geeze don’t let blacks have guns fixed issue
That’s east coast
Learn geography
He won’t remember any of it thank goodness. We know the drill… check the father first.
Actually, I just watched a cold case get solved that was like 20 yrs old. A 2 yr old boy ,grown up now, was able to help a private detective find who killed his mother and actually was able to help find where her body was dumped.
Democrat paradise!!!
The 👿 is busy be safe people 🙏
So senseless. I hope they find and prosecute to the full extent.
Democratic city typical
So sad so heartbreaking poor family poor baby
Oh my God that poor little thing. The world has become a horrible place.
RIP family. This going to mess this kid up.
Just based on the wording not mentioning the grandfather are they suspecting her father to have done it
they where trouble makers
there going to be more bodies in January if they don’t fix those danm laws
Psalm 35:1-28 kjv
Psalm 23:1-6
Exodus 20:13
The American government to busy protecting Ukraine
Targeted? robbery? or her ex?
The DEMONS are VERY BUSY…RIP Father and Daughter 🙏🏿
I’m thinking about that scene from dexter now
Lmao same
How sad
🙄And to think, strong, totally independent black women have spent the last 50 plus years completely falsely claiming that they can raise children better all by themselves without a man!🙄
Probably some guy she was f****** with got bored of and didn’t want to f*** with him no more and he couldn’t take no for an answer
Shitttttttttttttttttttttcago
Peacefully
George Floyd is SOBER
Chicago needs a good cleansing
There was a story on the Chicago PD show that was similar. One of the detectives on the show adopted the child.
seems like crime of passion, check her lover or ex lovers
Check the father, somethings wrong here
Who’s the baby’s father?
Y’all know a male friend in her life did this.
Over and over and over again- it’s the same demons doing this.
Black men should all be executed
chicago is off the hook, kids be gangsta at 3 lol
Why?
Lol
You are not with.
God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob in Jesus Name ❤️
I wonder if a black person no it could not be they do nothing wrong
💔💯🙏
