As reported last week — A 9-year-old Chicago boy was shot multiple times in an alley in the Gresham neighborhood on the city’s south east side earlier this month.
It was one of the latest black on black murders in Chicago.
According to initial reports, the child was on his way to play basketball in a nearby park.
Maggio News reported:
Now this…
The father of the murdered nine year-old told police investigating his son’s death to “F*ck off!”
DNA Info reported:
When Chicago police asked the father of slain 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee to help catch his son’s killer he didn’t just decline to help, the reputed gang member told investigators to “f— off,” sources told DNAinfo Chicago.
Police said they believe Tyshawn was executed because of the gang affiliation of his father, Pierre Stokes — who told reporters police have harassed him “trying to see if I’ll get mad, if I’m gonna do something. They want to lock me up.”
Stokes is a reputed member of the Gangster Disciple faction “Killa Ward” that police sources say has been at war with the “Terra Dome” faction of the Black P Stone street gang.
What a good dad.
