this is really devastating news... it's like, one minute you're walking down the street, and the next your life is cut short 
. i'm thinking about all the young people out there who are growing up in neighborhoods like Wicker Park, where gang violence and crime are becoming way too normal 
. we need to do more to support our communities and find ways to prevent these kinds of tragedies from happening... it's not just a loss of life, but also a loss of potential 
. my heart goes out to the victim's family and friends, and i hope that justice will be served eventually 
.
can't even imagine what his family must be going through right now 
it's like, why do these things happen? 
especially when you're so young and full of life 
the police are doing their best to figure out what went down but it's just not clear yet 
either way, our thoughts are with his loved ones 
may he rest in peace 
. We need to support each other, especially when someone like this happens 
.
. I feel for the victim's family and friends who are trying to make sense of what happened right now 
. You'd think with all the cameras and witnesses in the area, they'd have a pretty good idea of who could've done this 
. But I guess you never really know until there are convictions, and that can take time 
.
. We need to come together as a community to support each other during times like these 
. Like, it happens everywhere, not just in Chicago or even USA for that matter. Gun violence is a thing worldwide and we need to start thinking beyond the US borders 
. Also, 18-25 year olds are basically adults now, stop treating them like minors 
. They should be able to take care of themselves if they're smart enough.
. And what's with the age-old "we're all in shock" nonsense? We've been hearing this since 1999 and it still happens 
️ i mean, we've been talking about this issue for years, but nothing seems to change... more guns, more violence, more young people dying 
and now Wicker Park is left to pick up the pieces 
it's a reminder that we still have a long way to go in terms of addressing gun violence and community safety 
. I mean we've heard of drive by shootings, but for someone who was just walking down the street? 
it's terrifying to think about.
. But I do hope that the community of Wicker Park sticks together during this tough time, we need to support each other right now 
it's like every 2 days there's some new story about violence or gun crime, i mean i get it guns are a thing but can't we find a way to make them safer? 
my heart goes out to the victim's family and friends, they must be livin their worst nightmare rn 
. The lines leading out from the circle would represent the many people who care about this young man and want justice to be served

... but let's think about it, a life was cut short at such a young age 
... on the other hand, maybe we need to give law enforcement a break for now and let them do their thing. But what about all the resources they're already using up? And honestly, I'm so frustrated with how vague it is - like, can't we get more info on this poor kid's life? What was his story? Was he struggling or did he have a support system? We need to learn from these incidents, but we also need to remember that they're often the result of complex circumstances... and I'm not even sure if any of us are doing enough to prevent them in the first place
