"He was the person people would reach out to as things have gotten dicier on the streets of Chicago."In addition to helping teens find jobs, Price said, Cooper was focused on "diffusing violence" and would serve as a mentor to young people who sought out his guidance.Price said he worries that Chicago's endemic violence is not close to being eradicated."I've taken mothers to the morgue. This weekend, a nine-year-old was killed," he said. "My concern is that violence is getting popular here."As always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material completely yourself about a Subject Matter, and then formulate your own Opinions and Theories.Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies, thoughts,or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?Bear in mind that we are trying to attract and educate a Whole New Generation of JFKResearchers who may not be as well versed as you.Comments ?Respectfully,BB.

These depictions of what is occurring in Chicago are so sad and depressing. I keep hoping that it will change...but I'm afraid it will continue on for a while.

07.29.2017:Dear JFK Murder Solved Forum Members and Readers:CHICAGO, ILLINOIS TODAY CELEBRATED ITS 400th SHOOTING MURDER FOR THIS YEAR.4 YEARS AGO CHICAGO DIDN'T REACH ITS 400th SHOOTING MURDER UNTIL THANKSGIVING.CHICAGO HAD 50 MORE HOMICIDES THAN NEW YORK AND LOS ANGELES COMBINED THROUGH MID JUNE OF THIS YEAR,EVEN THOUGH CHICAGO IS FAR LESS POPULATED THAN BOTH.MULTIPLE NEW, AND ALLEGEDLY IMPROVED PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED ALMOST WEEKLY IN CHICAGO, BUTNOTHING IS WORKING.

(07.29.2017, BB).MORE PEOPLE DYING FROM GUNSHOT WOUNDS AS CHICAGO MARKS 400 HOMICIDES:Shootings occurred in Cabrini-Green, South Shore, Park Manor and other areas across Chicago from July 27 to July 28, 2017. (Erin Hooley/Chicago Tribune)Chicago Tribune staffContact ReporterFour years ago, Chicago didn't record 400 homicides until just before Thanksgiving Day. The city has already passed that mark this year.Chicago is on pace to have a deadlier year than 2016, when gun violence reached levels not seen in 20 years, according to data kept by the Tribune. While fewer people have been shot this year, more of them are dying from their wounds.An analysis of Tribune data shows the percentage of fatal shootings is running about 1.3 percent higher than last year. The percentage had been declining in recent years but started to rise last year.In 2013, about 15.5 percent of those shot in Chicago died. That percentage dropped to around 14 percent the next two years, but rose in 2016 to 15.2 percent, according to Tribune data. So far this year, 16.5 percent of the 2,150 people shot have died.Combined with other cases, such as strangulations and stabbings, the number of homicides reached 400 on Thursday, two days earlier than last year.Mother pleads with police at fatal shooting: 'I need to touch my son’.With half the summer to go, Chicago is on course to top 700 homicides for a second consecutive year, a mark that had otherwise not been reached in two decades.It's not clear what might be driving the increase in homicides, which are often linked to gang conflicts and are concentrated on the West and South sides.Experts have cited everything from the proliferation of guns in the city to the opioid epidemic that could be intensifying disputes among heroin dealers.For the first six months of 2017, more than 90 percent of Chicago homicide victims were slain by gunfire, according to Police Department records.But in New York City, only about 49 percent of homicide victims were the victims of gun violence. According to a study released in January by the University of Chicago, 72 percent of Los Angeles' homicides in 2016 were with a gun.At least 16 shot, 3 fatally in Chicago.Warning: graphic content. Sixteen people were shot, three fatally, in Chicago from Thursday to early Friday, July 28, 2017. (Erin Hooley / Chicago Tribune).Chicago had 50 more homicides than New York and Los Angeles combined through mid-June, even though it is far less populous than both.Earlier this year, Chicago police highlighted the link between drugs and violence earlier this year with maps displaying how the locations of shootings and drug overdoses overlapped.The maps showed a high concentration of shootings and overdoses happening on the West Side near the Eisenhower Expressway, dubbed the "Heroin Highway" because of the easy access it provides for drug-buying suburbanites.Tribune reporter Jeremy Gorner contributed to this reportCopyright © 2017, Chicago TribuneAs always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material completely yourself about a Subject Matter, and then formulate your own Opinions and Theories.Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies, thoughts,or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?Bear in mind that we are trying to attract and educate a Whole New Generation of JFKResearchers who may not be as well versed as you.Comments ?Respectfully,BB.
