Just got that news about some 20-something dude who got shot in an apartment building on West Division St. it's so senseless... can't believe another young life is lost like this. 
I'm worried about what's happening in our city, it feels like violence is just becoming more and more accepted. I don't think we're doing enough to prevent these incidents, we should be investing more in community programs and mental health services, not just throwing money at law enforcement. 
The fact that his family hasn't even been able to release his name yet is just heartbreaking... it feels like we're losing so many people too soon. 
. it's just so senseless when lives get cut short like that. 22 is way too young to be taken away from us 
. let's all send love and positivity their way during this tough time #RIP #NearNorthSide #SenselessTragedy

just read about this tragic news and its really hitting me 
i wish we could all do more to make the world a safer place for people like him 
like, can't we all just get along and live peacefully? 
i wish the community was able to come together more to support each other through these tough times. we need to find a way to break down those barriers of fear and mistrust that lead to incidents like this. maybe it's time for some sort of neighborhood watch program or something to help keep everyone safe 
hope the person who did this gets caught and faces justice, but hopefully it leads to a bigger conversation about gun violence and how we can prevent more of these incidents from happening 
. the police gotta catch whoever did this, but at the same time, i wonder if we'll ever know the whole story behind it 
. This is like, totally senseless violence happening in our city... how many more lives do we need to lose? 
.
. I know we all want to focus on the good stuff, but sometimes you gotta talk about what's really going on. We can't just ignore these problems and hope they go away...
.
. We need to find a way to prevent these tragedies from happening 
. The community is already hurting 
! It's time for change 
. We have to come together as one 
and support each other during these tough times 
, it's hard not to be invested in cases like this. I hope the detectives can piece together what happened and bring justice to the victim and their family 
.
I mean what's gonna happen next? One minute you're chillin' in an apartment, the next your life is over 
The gun violence in Chicago got me shook 
Can't we do better than this? 
The Near North Side is already a rough neighborhood, but it doesn't deserve to lose another bright young soul 
this is just so senseless another young life cut short by violence what's going on in our city? it feels like we're seeing more and more of these tragic incidents and no one seems to know why they're happening 
at least he'll be remembered as a young man with his whole life ahead of him, not just a statistic in the news
