Another Dead One

The former ShotSpotter neighborhoods are getting quite the reputation:

• Chicago police officers on routine patrol found a murder victim lying dead in Lawndale overnight. Investigators were unable to immediately identify the victim, but a CPD media statement said he appeared to be “approximately teenage.” (Update: Family members told media outlets the boy was 13 years old.)

  Nobody called 911 to report shots fired in the area before the boy was found shot in the head in the backyard of a home in the 1500 block of South Kildare around 2:10 a.m. Shell casings were lying nearby.

As we've said, we didn't really like the technology that much, but it worked most of the time. It probably has improved over with increased usage and monitoring. 

But the 'hood doesn't care enough to even call in shots fired....and it's merely entertainment because of the embarrassment it dishes out to Conehead, aldercreatures and their voters.
