A boy was shot in the head and killed while walking down the street with his mom. The killing looks to be gang related:

A 14-year-old boy was shot in the head while walking with his mother in the Northwest Side Logan Square neighborhood Tuesday morning. Police say the shooting may be gang-related.

Just after 9 a.m., the boy was walking with his mother on the 3500 block of West Armitage Avenue, according to police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez, when he was approached by a male in his late teens or early 20s.

After yelling gang slogans and putting up gang signs, the offender took out a handgun and shot the boy in the head, Perez said. The victim was taken in serious to critical condition to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, according to Fire Media Affairs spokesman Quention Curtis. Perez said the boy has since been transferred to Children’s Memorial Hospital.

The shooter had short dark hair and was wearing a dark blue sweatshirt, Perez said. He was not in custody as of about 11:30 a.m. Grand Central Area detectives are investigating.

We need to stop this madness. We know it is cliche, but it’s the truth.

R.I.P.

  • whatever

    This is sad.

  • Angee (Really Looking Forward to January 1st, 2010)!!

    Chicago in the news AGAIN, for this senseless ish!!

    Where does it say the young man died?

  • You Smell Me??

    This is sad, but there is good news to this, THEY DIDNT SAY THE BOY IS DEAD YET.

  • carmelbunny

    of course this is crazy…and sad..and dangerous…this trigger maddness needs to cease..

  • BrwnBeauty

    Actually that is also the Frat sign for Kappa Alpha Psi…so he (The Boston Player) may be throwing up that sign…but this sorry is beyond sad you can’t even walk down the street anymore nowadays….

    Chicago Chicago Chicago!! Come on Chicago~~ get it together, this gang mess has got to stop! I hate this crap because its really bad , at least when i was in H/S even back 13 years ago we fought face to face.. not killing innocent people over some gang bullcrrap! Illinois Masonic i know because i have a friend whose daughter was born there!

  • DWadeaminute

    First off, what does this have to do with Paul Pierce? And second, the gang sign that’s being posted as an example is for a CA gang….not Chi-town. Corrections are needed in a major way…..

  • love me love me not

    Gangs are not leaders they are all followers and most of them say that the reason for them to join is because they not getting any love at home. Come on man if that’s what you call love then you are seriously dead wrong I will say that if you are looking for love then the first step to that is to love your self.And if you start there then you’ll have enough love to love others! But if you don’t love your self how can you really love some one else?

  • http://perryone779@yahoo,com rose by any other name # 9304026339482056536™

    I dont care what is being posted as a gang sign , I know where this happened at is Chicago because i know Illinois Masonic Hosp, and Logan Sqaure is Chicago and LS is on the NW side.. main clue ILINOIS MASONIC is in what ILLINOIS?????

  • Kay-The Beautiful One

    Chicago is so f-ing crazy,i dont even want to pass by there,I dont even want a connecting flight in chicago,i will have to take a different route bc chicago is crazy,like so many people are killed like every week

    My heart breaks for his mother I pray each day for world peace….so tragic and sad!

  • DWadeaminute

    Sad story indeed, and I pray for the parties involved “Rose”….but I don’t think Mr. Pierce appreciates the false advertisement….I don’t think anyone else would for that matter.

  • http://blackstar69.com BlackStar69

    Stop the violence, already!

  • Honey (KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS…LOL)

    @ Choco
    Where have you been??????

  • TeeTee K

    This is so sad. We need to do better!!!

  • Lady Love

    @MzKat i am so sorry to hear about this story and i will keep him and your family in my prayers. And by gods will he will make a full recovery just stay strong and everything will be ok. As for all of this violence going on life is to short to nnot care for another’s, wat if that was your son, brother, uncle ,cousin, father wat would you do come on people the negativity has to stop. Im a mother of a 2yr old son and to be honest im afraid to take my son to daycare cause of violence and im from DC so think about it is taking a life worth giving up your own? But overall i really pray KIKO make it out ok.

  • Que

    Paul Pierce wasnt throwing up a gang sign. The media blew that out of porportion.

  • http://comcast g.d.c

    But why the picture of Paul Pierce????

  • http://perryone779@yahoo,com rose by any other name # 9304026339482056536™

    DWade~~ I dont think Paul pierce does either and like someone else said maybe it was a Alpha sign.. IDK, but i do know this crap happened in chi-town! It is just so sad and i pray for chi-town because im not far from them and i have friends who live there or that have their relatives there! i know Detroit is saying thanks Chicago for getting the slack off their city!! But its wrong anywhere and its happening everywhere but Chi-town.. come on CHICAGO!! lighten up!

  • http://perryone779@yahoo,com rose by any other name # 9304026339482056536™

    I dont believe PP was throwing up a gang sign either, I dont him but he seems to be smarter than that!!

  • Miss Ace

    @ BrwnBeauty i believed that was the sign for that fraternity.
    Nonetheless, its very tragic with all this crime and violence in the world

  • t

    lack of parenting and love. kids need love protection and direction and w/o it this is what happens. i hate that for the mom, its hard enought to lose a child but in front of his mother, thats just crazy. its only going to get worse…we dont stand up for our neghborhoods any longer. why arent there any neighborhood meetings over this crap? y r we just waiting for the police to solve these problems when we clearly know that will never happen. we can either let these lost minds scare us into not saying or doing anything or we can come togther in hard times like out parent grandparents and great grandparents and take a stand. w/o some type of dratsic measures this is not going to stop, only get more intense…im praying for this young man

  • keino

    btw….so sad in front of his mom wow….

  • MzKat

    Thank you so much.
    Yes the violence is really bad and it does not seem to be getting any better.
    And it is so sad that some people do not value life anymore. And it’s not just the ones who are losing their life to this nonsense it’s also the ones who are committing theses acts of violence because their lives as the know it is ruined as well. The families of these people are very greatly impacted by this too.
    Kiko is only 14, his mom is holding up as well as can be expected.
    And I think I can speak for her when I say that the prayers are greatly appreciated and God bless everyone that this has affected.

    I just want to cry! We all know what the problem is so HOW DO WE STOP IT!

  • Gimmeabreak 78

    @Tennis

    Here’s the solution:

    1)Stop blaming white people and look in the mirror for once. It’s not their job to care about us or to take care of us.

    2)Stop the baby mama culture. Men and women need to raise their children in the same household again.

    3)Stop glamorizing the dysfunctional in our community.

    Its amazing how brain washed and mis guided these so called Thugs are… They try to blame it on the opression,,, but do they realize its their minority thats an endangered specie??

  • Kia VA

    Y would y post a picture of paul pierce? He’s an Alpha, he throws up that sign all the time.

  • chi town

    i teach in the chi. the kids are out of control. it’s terrible and no one cares. Gucci and Wayne are these idiots leaders, and the kids who know they aren’t “thugs” are “Jerks” or soft thugs. 85%ers from South Holland to Bellwood and all they way to Evanston. The school leaders are fruits who don’t care as well. ITS A SHAME!!! AND IT’S ON AUTO PILOT. IM JUST WAITING ON THE FLOOD.

  • Archie

    Why is Paul Pierce on the cover of this story?

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    6am is right as always.

  • chi town

    Paul P. has nothing to do with this. There are no bloods or crips in the chi. The photo is misleading.

    Anybody that saw the documentory called American gangster, they showed what gangs are in chi~~ like the ganster disciples and latin kings , vice lords and many more, even back to Jeff Fort who was featured on American gangster! jeff Fort headed the black p ston nation, the Black Stone Rangers and the most famous El’Rukins in Chicago.. he even had dealing with Khadaphi or whatever his name is in another Counrty!!Its madness but this shooting of innocent people has got to stop!!

    As high of a profile person Paul P is , I dont think he would be throwing up gang signs all out like that!

  • enkogkneegro ( Uncle E…if you like )

    @DWadeaminute

    Paul knew exactly what he was doing , its also what got his a** stabbed..fronting like he banged in the hood and getting called on it……there are folks living next door to each other one going to college the other to jail….not everybody in every hood bangs we know that but there are those like Paul who represent falsely as some sort of prop to their toughness…..I don’t know you but you say you’re from the Wood so rolling with that do you think it was a Frat sign ?……

  • enkogkneegro ( Uncle E…if you like )

    In a way the fact that it appears most of ya’ll don’t know isn’t necessarily a bad thing just don’t get caught up on the wrong side of town and think the brotha on the corner is flashing Kapa signs at you so that you mistakenly throw one back and catch a bullet……

  • Why do you want to be like these sub-humans

    Blacks can you please leave this monkey behavior for the Wops and Micks. You are not supposed to act that way. This is a white way of thinking. And why are you claiming something that doesn’t even belong to you. It’s time to start using your brains

    Don’t try to put my boy Paul Pierce out there thats the sign i just hit a 3 in your mouth.

  • enkogkneegro ( Uncle E…if you like )

    @DWadeaminute…

    On point 100% bruh, Paul never banged Family but was surrounded by them and still has them in his organization but I’ll clearly say again he “Never Banged”…….he got caught up in a very heated game and it happened…he was wrong, he caught flack for it and it hasn’t happened since……Paul does so many good things thru his foundation but this whole keepin it street has gotten a lot of people with bright futures jailed or back in them streets when they didn’t have to be……..but your post was on point.

  • Somali Ninga

    looks like paul pierce is doing the 666 sign!But hey, illuminati control the nba,nfl,mlb, etc

  • DWadeaminute

    @Uncle E….thanks, good chattin with an O.G. that knows the real “dirty low” in L.A.

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    One more thing, and uncle E can probably confirm this sh*t, when I was 14 my cousins gang took Ice T’s custom car show 64 impala lowrider from one of his homies caught slippin’ and ridin’ through their hood, that sh*t i remember! And Ice Cube and WubC were from their hood, but cube never banged, he was affiliated.

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    whew!

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    shut up somali n*gga, you know nothing except how to argue with people who say they’ve only been parked for 45 minutes.

  • DWadeaminute

    @6am….aiight pimpin, now that I got some clarification on your angle, I can dig what you’re sayin. All that you just mentioned brought back hella memories….I got those friends/cousins too like the one’s you mentioned, and nobody can tell em “ish”, because they’re on a brain-dead mission! Bangin starts out all fun & games, but that’s rarely how it ends. They gotta want to help themselves for the most part…otherwise, they’ll end up….?? Sadly, we all know the answer!

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    Oops one more thing, uncle e was right, that sh*t did spread, in west oahu we have samoan bloods and filipino crips, they dont really have guns but they fight like hell. Ive seen 7 lil azz 100lb filipino crips jump these two big azz 400lb samoan bloods (sonz of samoa) that sh8t looked like monkeys jumpin’ on elephants it was so funny, but they were dead serious!

    pierce wasnt throwing up a gang sign or a fraternity sign, he just hit a three pointer and threw up a 3. it is basketball… lames

  • enkogkneegro ( Uncle E…if you like )

    @JE

    Lame is someone who is someone speaking on something of which they have no clue about…… and for the rest of you just so you get clarity just go to you tube and look it up its there for all of you Frat and three point folks to see. The game was against Atlanta and he and Al Horford who mentioned at a time that he was a crip were going back and forth, PIERCE was on DEFENSE, DEFENSE and Horton shook him and scored then went to the bench and celebrated with his team and when he looked back at Pierce thats when pierce hit him up with the blood sign….know what you talkin bout before you speak……..look at it and tell me it was because he hit a three!!!

  • Dwadeaminute

    @Uncle E….I grew up in the Avenues, all those L.A. spots & more were natural stompin grounds, and I also have a bunch of friends & fam on both sides of the rag, so I been pretty much “errwhere” in L.A. I’ve been tranplanted to Orange County (boring…yawn) due to work for about 11 years now, but I still hit L.A. every couple of weekends to holla at the folks, etc. Don’t want peeps thinkin I left the hood and forgot where I came from!! LOL, but that ain’t crackin fo sho…lot’s of changes out there, one day a business is there, next it’s demolished and replaced with a strip mall. A bra be missin his fish markets & bbq spots too…feel me? And props for recognizing that change in times, by parking those sweet @$$ classics…some cats let pride get in the way, and end up in a predicament.

  • enkogkneegro ( Uncle E…if you like )

    I got more tha my share of cousins in their late 40′s early 50′s who everytime we go out somewhere and they get a little drank in em wanna start throwin up signs and geriatric bangin on folks… I just separate myself and keep it pushin feel me… anyway I’m out good hollerin at you though…..

  • Lush_Us Lipps (Chi-Town)

    Damn Chicago!!!! We gotta get it together!

  • Ms_NYC

    @6AM, you are not right and you need to stop saying sh*t you don’t know about, trying to pass it off as facts. I currently reside in Boston, and that is definitely a sign representing that city. As you can see on the screen, Boston was down points, so he was throwing up the sign as support for Boston. IDIOTS!

  • J

    its 3z up for boston…not piru

  • dat 5 star bx chick

    If parents took the time out to raise there kids with morals this wouldnt be happening,open your eyes people change starts from with in your own house hold….

  • Fastlane

    First of all that’s not a “Piru” sign Paul Pierce is throwin’ up, and what does that have to do with anything anyway?!! Quit startin’ shit!!

  • Its6amHoGetOut, 18 more days of genius muthaf*ckas!

    @ Enkogneegro,

    I’d just give up, why even try and explain sh*t to dumb n*ggas? One thing I’ve learned in the 2 1/2 years that I’ve been on this muthaf*cka is that “n*ggas are stupid”

    Uncle E, DWade and I just told you what we’ve seen from experience, from actual bangin’ blood (Uncle E) , and actually livin’ in a blood hood in Inglewood(DWade), and me just from visiting L.A. seeing cousins who banged. But of course we’re all wrong.

    You know what, I now admit that wasnt RKelly f*ckin’ then pissin’ on a 13 year old, OJ is innocent, Pleasure P didnt molest any kids, the gorilla lookin’ b*tch in PRECIOUS is really attractive, Emmitt Perry is one of the greatest TV and Film producers the world has ever known and hasnt done one thing to embarrass the sh*t out of black people, Deep south rap is so good that I dont know how they dont win every grammy every year, I shouldnt build a wall around the deep south to protect black people from n*ggas, I should rent buses to transport ghetto broke stupid muthaf*ckas to the suburbs and let them roam the streets of that gated safe neighborhood you and your husband saved up 10 years to buy into, did I miss anything? Oh yeah, its ridiculous of me to even suggest fat hoes love prison d*ck, I have no proof of that sh*t, I mean its not like single black motherhood is an epidemic in the inner-cities right?

    RIGHT?

    love 6am

  • her?yeah,her
