Anti-Violence Altar Boy..... (UPDATE)

.....felled by - violence? Is this correct? It can't be:

• Anti-gun violence activist Delmonte Johnson was shot to death Wednesday evening in the Stony Island Park neighborhood on the South Side.
  
  Johnson, 19, was shot multiple times about 7:29 p.m. in the 8600 block of South Euclid Avenue, according to Chicago police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. He was shot in the chest and abdomen and was taken in critical condition to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died at 8:16 p.m.
  
  An autopsy Thursday found he died of a gunshot wound to the chest and his death was ruled a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said.

And the Slum Times made a rather unfortunate choice of photographs to accompany the article:

There's that damn arthritis affliction once again.

Until there's a cure!

UPDATE: The Tribune has cropped the photo so you can't see the hands any more.

Without attribution that they altered the story of course.
