Chicago Anti-Violence Activist Shot Dead Just Steps Away From His Office
One of many this year.
Via The Guardian:
A Chicago community activist who worked to fight violence was shot dead less than a block from the offices of his nonprofit, according to police and the man’s relatives.
William “Willie” Cooper, 58, was shot on Saturday afternoon near the offices of Lilydale Outreach Workers for a Better Community, on Chicago’s South Side. Cooper was the principal officer of the anti-violence group, which provides jobs for local teenagers.
Police said Cooper was walking when someone shot him from a dark-colored vehicle driving by. Cooper suffered wounds to his torso and mouth. About 20 shell casings were scattered near his body, according to his wife, Sherry Clark, with whom he had three children.
“People are so cold-hearted,” Cooper’s niece, Patricia Carter, told WLS-TV. “How could you take somebody’s life? He helped everybody. I just don’t understand.”

Three teens from Joliet, Illinois, were charged with murder last week for a deadly house fire that was started by shooting a flare gun.
Manuel A. Escamilla, 18; Eric J. Raya, 18; and Andy Cerros, 17, who are all charged as adults, each face six counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, and three counts of arson.
Killed in the June 3 blaze, which began just before 2 a.m. and took firefighters about 40 minutes to extinguish, were Regina Rogers, 28; her 11-month-old baby daughter, Royaltyblu Rogers; and Jacquetta Rogers, 29. Authorities say the teens intended to kill a man who lived at the home when they fired the flare gun, but instead set the house on fire. The intended target escaped uninjured.
The teens, who were already in jail on unrelated charges, are each being held with a $10 million bond.

Chicago man dies after gun in pants goes off
7/17/17 | by Jennifer Cruz
A 33-year-old man from Chicago died early Friday morning after a handgun he had tucked in his pants accidentally discharged.
Officers responded to the shooting just before midnight and found Steven Winston sitting in a parked car. Police determined his injuries were the result of a “self-inflicted gunshot wound” and occurred as Winston was “moving in the vehicle.”
Winston, who was shot in the abdomen, was rushed to a local hospital and initially listed in critical condition. Winston later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead just before 1 a.m.
Authorities said they do not believe Winston had a license to carry a concealed weapon.
