CHICAGO — Gun violence in Chicago over the weekend has left more than a dozen people dead, including three children.
From Friday evening through midnight Monday, 16 people were killed and 47 were injured.
Now, a group of Chicago business owners are offering thousands of dollars to find the killers of these child victims.
Just before 10 p.m. Saturday night, a stray bullet came through the window of an apartment on the 3500 block of Dickens Avenue in Logan Square and struck Lena Nunez in the head. Police believe two groups were firing at each other outside the apartment, when Lena was hit by a stray bullet.
The youngest victim killed this weekend was 20-month-old Sincere Gaston. Sincere was shot in the chest while riding in his car seat near 60th and Halsted on Saturday. His mother was grazed by a bullet.
In another shooting Saturday, a 17-year-old was shot and killed in the Humboldt Park neighborhood during a fight.
An 8-year-old girl was also shot while sitting on the couch inside her home at 66th and South Wood in West Englewood. The girl suffered a graze wound to her head, but survived.
It was just last weekend when Chicago saw the worst gun violence of the year, 106 people shot, including 3-year-old Mekhi James and 13-year-old Amaria Jones, who were both killed.
A newly formed group of activists and entrepreneurs say they’re fed up. The group, called “I’m Telling Don’t Shoot” is now offering a $50,000 reward to help find the shooters in the cases of the youngest victims, Mekhi and Sincere.
The group is backed by Englewood Ald. Stephanie Coleman, and they even brought the cash reward to Sunday’s news conference.

NYC wants to catch up so they are defunding their police.

Just warming up for the 4th of July weekend. Another blizzard of lead coming your way Chicago democrats.
Chicago’s black mayor doesn’t care. Chicago’s black police chief doesn’t comment on it. Black lives matter doesn’t care either.
Not sure why I should care.
And yet, Lebron James is busy wondering why Americans of European Descent don’t profess their love for him on a daily basis.
You have bigger things to worry about, Lebron.
They be representin’ and keepin’ it real.
Whitey with Scandavian and Germany invaded from Wisconsin again?
Even Capone and the mob don’t target children.
Mr. Capone took a very, very dim view of capos who shot innocents.
Remember the film “in bruges”...where the assassin guy was offed because he had shot a child.
The problem in Chicago as I’ve heard explained by people who know is this. Years ago (20-40) there were only a handful of very tightly structured, disciplined, focused gangs. They each had their own turf and pretty much respected each other’s boundaries. There were naturaly some disputes but they “took care of it” internally and definitely frowned on innocents getting killed. The gang leaders were very powerful. But then along came the genius feds and started taking out the leaders. That left a totally undisciplined and fragmented unstructured mess. Now it’s practically a block by block warfare kind of situation with no direction, structure or discipline. Retaliation is endless and many, many innocents get caught up in the savagery.
Decent people should unass Chicago, and probably the whole of Illinois.
