Chicago's Little Village divided over police shooting of 13-year-old

“I see both sides: It’s tragic for the officer and for the young man,” said Elsie Franqui, 45, who brought her 12-year-old son and 14-year-old nephew to the memorial Saturday with Viva Honduras masks and a homemade votive candle bearing Adam’s photo.the release of police body-cam video Thursday

At briefings after the shooting, Lightfoot and other officials condemned street gangs, even though Chicago police had not confirmed that Adam belonged to a gang and a police report said the incident was not gang-related. Some officials also said the young victim shouldn’t have been armed and out at 2:30 a.m.

Jen Dominguez, 24, a Mexican American lab worker who wore a Virgin of Guadalupe sweatshirt, said she had not attended protests against police brutality in the past. But this time, she said, she and a friend felt compelled after watching the video because “We consider all Latinos family. That was one of mine.”

“A 13-year-old should not be on the street at 2:30 a.m. with a gun,” said Serrano, 48, a Puerto Rican-born father of three who works at Home Depot, grew up in Logan Square and married a Mexican woman from Little Village. “It could happen again tonight. There are parents worse off.”

He shot far too quickly.

The kid was terrified and put his hands up. Then a cowardly inexperienced fuck shot him.

Irrelevant. Stop killing children.

Honestly, this is just such crap journalism. Find a few people who see things differently, then say the neighborhood is divided. Is there a survey? How many people were asked? What were they asked? Shallow and uninsightful reporting

Did they ask his parents why he was out at 2am with a gun?

ReporterPhoenix How can anyone be in favor of killing a little 13-year old?
