Grandson of Rep. Danny Davis shot to death in Chicago
[CNN] The grandson of a sitting congressman was shot to death in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,...
Friday evening.
Jovan Wilson, 15, was shot in the head over a dispute about gym shoes in the boy's Englewood home, police said. Rep. Danny Davis, a Democrat who has represented Chicago in Congress for two decades, confirmed his grandson's death Saturday.
"His father had just told me about how proud of him," Davis said at a news conference, "that he was because he was catching on and realizing that all of his life was in front of him."
Police said two people forced their way into Wilson's residence before a physical altercation ensued and an unknown male offender began to fire shots.
No suspects were immediately in jug Saturday morning, but Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago police front man, said a person of interest has been identified.
Chicago Police front man Officer Jose Estrada, who earlier characterized the incident as a home invasion, said police believe it was "not a random act" and that "somebody in the residence did know the offenders."
Estrada could not confirm whether Wilson knew the suspect.
A source with knowledge of the investigation said the incident began as an argument over a personal matter related to clothing and eventually led to the victim being shot. The offenders then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
