“I’m with my kids,” were the final words spoken by a Chicago father before being shot in the head by two callous teens Thursday afternoon.
After telling the two, “I’m with my kids,” one teen turned to the other ordering him to shoot in Brighton Park, Chicago.
The Chicago Tribune reported that a 25 year-old man was talking to his girlfriend and kids through a van window when two teens strolled up beside the vehicle. Police and multiple witnesses said the teens asked the man what he was “about” or what gang he belonged to. The man again implored, “I’m with my kids,” his girlfriend echoing the same plea, “He’s with his kids.” The teen took out his pistol and shot the man in the forehead. According to the police, after the man dropped to the ground, the teen stood over him and shot him twice more in the chest.
The man’s two kids, a 2 year-old and a 5 month-old, were rushed inside by their aunt who tried to calm down the screaming 2 year-old, while the 5 month-old never registered what happened. According to the aunt, the child screamed and cried for over an hour.
The girlfriend lay crying at her boyfriend’s side when paramedics came and rushed the man to the hospital.
