Considering the type of business that is basically across the street, Chicago Heights is lucky they don't have more of this type of activity.

A very senseless act of violence! This man was my brother-in-law he was greatly loved and will truly be missed!

What is across the street?

a liquor store

What difference does it make because it's a liquor store across the street or not. Fools are fools, and they can be any where, even your next door neighbor.

And my bad that was meant for dj friend

djs friend, jamilia and Alex

guess i won't get gas on that corner anymore!

This is terrible, the victim is the husband of a friend and I cannot begin to imagine how her and her family feel!! This is a senseless act that left a family without a husband and father!! Prayers for the Fortson family'

Absolutely not a commentary on the victim, but the "strip club" across the street brings in an element that brings down the entire area and puts good citizens at risk.
