Christopher Travis Murder Case
14-Year-Old Boy Murdered in Drive-By Shooting
I wonder what was the motive for such horrible crime? Drugs? I read he was still in elementary school.
QUOTE Boys as young as 14 years old should not have to worry about being shot in the street. Unfortunately, this is exactly what young men and their parents have to worry about in the city of Chicago. A 14-year-old boy, Christopher Travis, was murdered this Tuesday in a drive-by shooting in the Woodlawn section of the city. The boy and two of his friends were shot, and he died in the hospital.
One of the other shooting victims was 12 years old; he was shot in his leg and ear. A 19-year-old boy was shot in the knee. After the shooting occurred, the car sped off. There are no suspects in custody.
The boy who died was described as a "school boy" who liked to ride his bike every day. He was a student at Emmett Till Elementary School.
Stories like this one are both incredibly tragic and so reflective of the frightening challenges of black males in America today. Homicide is the leading cause of death for black men between the ages of 15 and 34. There is also a multiplicative effect of black-on-black homicide, given that both the victim and the perpetrators are typically African-American males. Source 7m
