... it's just heartbreaking thinking about that poor guy's life cut short like that. What's really frustrating is how quickly the investigation can be sped up, but still we don't get any concrete answers about what led to this tragic event. It feels like our city is just stuck in a never-ending cycle of violence and fear. I'm just so tired of seeing news like this all the time... where are the solutions?! 
We need more community support, more mental health resources, and definitely more gun control laws! This city needs to come together and find a way to break this vicious cycle before it's too late

( IT'S JUST NOT FAIR TO ANYONE, ESPECIALLY THE FAMILY OF THE VICTIM WHO ARE PROBABLY GOING THROUGH A TRAUMATIC TIME RIGHT NOW. CHICAGO IS ALREADY FACING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH CRIME AND POLICE BRUTALITY, AND THIS JUST ADDS TO THE LIST 
. I FEEL SO SAD FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE VICTIM'S FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO MUST BE IN SUCH TURMOIL RIGHT NOW 
. WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AS A CITY AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND FIND WAYS TO PREVENT THESE KIND OF SENSELESS VIOLENCES FROM HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE 
it's just devastating how these senseless shootings are happening left and right... Chicago is like that one place where you never know what's gonna happen next 
53 is way too young, he should've at least got to see his grandkids grow up 
crime rates are through the roof in this city, it feels like no one is doing anything about it 
authorities gotta step up their game, can't just sit around waiting for someone else to get shot 
this is getting way too real for Chicago. The fact that another life got cut short like this is just heartbreaking 
. As a city, we need to come together to address the root causes of this senseless violence 
. A 53-year-old man's life was cut short in his own home... it's just not right 
. The fact that the police are still trying to figure out what happened and who could've done such a thing, but they're not sharing much info yet... it's frustrating 
we need to do better than this
