2 "teens" on West Side among 15 shot, 3 fatally, on New Year's Day

Staff report

7:29 p.m. CST, January 1, 2013
Two teenagers were shot and seriously wounded this afternoon in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, among at least 15 people shot since midnight Monday, three of them fatally, authorities said.

Paramedics were called about 4:30 p.m. to the 2600 block of West Chicago Avenue for two people who’d been shot, according to Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford.

They were both taken in serious to critical condition to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, said Langford.

Police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala said the victims, both males in their teens, were shot in the chest and their conditions had stabilized at Stroger.

Earlier, a man was shot to death in the 4500 block of South Champlain Avenue, in what was believed to be the second homicide of the new year.

What appears to have been the third homicide of 2013 took place about two hours after the Champlain killing. About 4:56 p.m. in the Gage Park neighborhood, a man was shot in the chest in a possible drive-by shooting in the 5800 block of South Sacramento Avenue, Zala said about 7 p.m. He had no further details to release.

The man, identified as Devonta Grisson, 19, of the 6700 block of South Artesian Avenue, was declared dead on the scene at 5:05 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Officials: West Side man is city's first 2013 homicide victim

By Robert McCoppin and Rosemary R. Sobol

Tribune reporters

1:20 p.m. CST, January 1, 2013
A 20-year-old West Side man was the first Chicago homicide victim of 2013, one of 11 people across the city shot since midnight.

Someone shot Octavius Dontrell Lamb, 20, in the throat in the 700 block of North Noble Street in the West Town neighborhood on the West Side, according to a spokeswoman for the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Lamb, of the 700 block of North Throop Street, was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital at 4:16 a.m., she said.

Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada said the victim was shot in the chest at 3:50 a.m. at the Noble Street address.

Lamb worked as a dishwasher at a downtown hotel until 2 a.m. when he got a ride to his old neighborhood on Throop Street, according to his family and friends.

He was drinking Korbel Champagne and had stopped at a nearby store for cigarettes before someone shot him while he was in an alley behind a row of subsidized housing, according to his family and friends.

Police found the bottle of champagne in a nearby garbage can and took it for evidence.

His 14-year-old brother Demarcius Lamb and friends poured a bucket of hot water to wash the frozen blood off the pavement Tuesday morning.

Asked why somebody would shoot him, Demarcius could offer no reason, except to say that his brother was not a gang member.

Police identified him partly by a tattoo of his nickname "Oc."

"He was devotional, hard-working," Lamb said. "He'd do anything for anybody. He provided for me."

Nobody was in custody and Area Central detectives are investigating, Estrada said.
The apparent first shooting in 2013 happened about 1:15 a.m. on the 5100 block of West Madison Street in the South Austin neighborhood on the West Side, police said.

The 29-year-old man was shot in the mouth and left shoulder and was taken in good condition to Mount Sinai Hospital, according to police and fire department officials.

The man was in a bar on the 5000 block of West Madison Street when he and another man got into an altercation with others at the bar, police said.

The other victim was hit over the head with a bottle and the gunshot victim ran out of the bar when he sustained the wound to his mouth, police said.
Police were searching for the offenders, officials said.

In other shootings:

• A 22-year-old man was shot in the upper left leg while he was attending a party in the basement of a home on the 9700 block of South Beverly Avenue in the Beverly neighborhood on the Far Southwest Side, police said. The shooting happened about 1:55 a.m. and the man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where his condition had stabilized, police said.

• About 2:40 a.m., a 22-year-old man was shot in the 11700 block of South Sangamon Street in the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side, police said. He walked into MetroSouth Medical Center in Blue Island but was later transferred in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

• Also about 2:40 a.m., a 17-year-old male was shot in the right shoulder after an argument escalated into a shooting in the 1600 block of North Kedzie Avenue in the Logan Square neighborhood on the Northwest Side, according to Estrada.

The victim was in a vehicle in the area of North Avenue and Kedzie when he got out of the vehicle and became engaged in an argument with a group of people, Estrada said. An unknown male pulled out a gun and fired several shots, Estrada said, striking the victim once. He was taken to Norwegian-American Hospital by someone else at the scene before being transferred in good condition to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.

• A 20-year-old man was sitting in a porch about 2:45 a.m. in the 5700 block of South Laflin Street in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side when he heard shots and felt pain, Estrada said. He suffered a gunshot wound to the right forearm but refused treatment.

• At about 3:50 a.m. a male and a female were shot on the 3800 block of South Wells Street in the Fuller Park neighborhood on the South Side, police said. The female was shot in the thigh and the male was shot in the back, police said. One victim was taken to Mercy Hospital while the more seriously wounded person was taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, fire officials said.

• About 4:40 a.m. in the 4700 block of South Loomis Boulevard in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the South Side, a 21-year-old man was shot four times by a pair of unknown offenders who fired into his car as he was driving on that block, Estrada said. The man, who was hit twice in the upper right arm once in the back and once in the left thigh, is in serious condition at Stroger hospital.

• A man and a woman were wounded in a shooting incident about 6:10 a.m. in the 5900 block of South Maplewood Avenue in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood on the Southwest Side, Estrada said. The woman, 32, is in critical condition at Stroger hospital after suffering wounds to the face and back. The male, also at Stroger, was wounded in the head and chest; Estrada described his condition as "grave." No other details were available on the shooting.

Estrada said police are questioning one person in the Maplewood incident.

No one is in custody in any of the other shootings, police said, as investigations continue.

Mud-on-White Murder?

Muffler shop owner killed in apparent robbery in Gage Park

BY HUNTER CLAUSS Staff Reporter January 3, 2013 2:07AM

A Southwest Side store owner died after he was shot during a robbery at his Gage Park muffler shop Wednesday night, authorities said.

Two men walked into Independent Muffler Shop, 5654 S. Western Ave., about 5:25 p.m. and pretended to be customers, police said. The men then tried robbing the store’s owner, 57-year-old Michael Kozel, and an employee, authorities said.

That’s when Kozel, of the 2700 block of West Seipp Street, was shot in the back, authorities said. The employee was not injured.

Kozel was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where he died at 9:09 p.m., according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.

Kozel’s death is the fifth homicide since the beginning of the new year.

Police have made no arrests as Area Central detectives investigate.

Gage Park is one of Chicago's 77 well-defined community areas, located on the city's southwest side; it is also the name of a park within the neighborhood. Gage Park's population is largely working-class, and its housing stock is mostly bungalows. For generations, the neighborhood was Eastern European and Irish Catholic.

The neighborhood remains overwhelmingly Catholic with the addition of many Hispanic residents.

Note how both the Sun-Times and Wikipedia withhold/spin race reality. In spite of the fact there is an unharmed witness, the only description we have of the at-large murderers is that they're 'men'--like half of the population.

Wikipedia intentionally convolutes race and religion, implying that European Catholics and mestizo nominal Catholics are the same animal, when they most assuredly are not. The actual demographic figures show these 'hispanics' (not from Madrid!) are now the supermajority, thanks to jewish immigration agitation.

West Pullman is a neighborhood located on the far south side of the city of Chicago, Illinois. It is one of the 77 official community areas of Chicago. West Pullman is not a part of the historic Pullman company town.

It is bounded on the north by 115th Street, on the east by the former Illinois Central Railroad, on the south by the Calumet River and Riverdale, on the west by Calumet Park, Blue Island and Ashland Avenue.

A high number of jobs were lost in the 1980s and 1990s making unemployment one of West Pullman's biggest problems. The other is the high amount of toxic waste left behind from the factories. A joint effort from community leaders, residents, city officials and the government is attempting to reduce the levels of toxicity.[2]

UPDATE

Father’s last words to son: ‘They shot me in the back’

BY STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter [email protected] January 3, 2013 2:07AM

When the poor strolled into his Gage Park muffler shop with their hands out, Michael Kozel often gave them work tidying up around the business he’d owned for two decades.

If a customer didn’t quite have enough for the bill, he’d say: Pay me later.

On Wednesday evening, the man who worried little about money came face to face with a gunman who at that moment cared about nothing else — in a neighborhood that’s been plagued with robberies in recent weeks.

Before making off with a wallet, the gunman shot Kozel. The 57-year-old grandfather just had time to telephone his 31-year-old son, also named Michael.

“They shot me in the back,” were Kozel’s last words to his boy.

As police sought Kozel’s killer and his accomplice Thursday, Kozel’s family and friends were left wondering how so generous a man could be so cruelly cut down.

“He looked like Santa, with a big beard, and he was just as giving,” said his son, who rushed to the muffler shop at 5654 S. Western, after getting the call from his dying father. The younger Kozel arrived in time to see an ambulance crew preparing to take his father to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 9 p.m.

Police released few details about the murder — the fifth of the New Year — but said two men walked into Kozel’s shop around 5:25 p.m. The men initially pretended to be customers. Then they tried to rob Kozel. One of Kozel’s employees told the Chicago Sun-Times he was in the back of the shop when he heard a gunshot. The employee, who would only agree to be identified as “Jeff,” said he ran to the front of the store, where he found a dying Kozel. That’s when the gunman seized him, Jeff said.

“He grabs me and threw me to the ground and said, ‘Give me the money,’” said Jeff, who wound up giving the man his wallet. The gunman and his accomplice then fled.

On Thursday morning, men with grease under their fingernails wiped away tears and hung their heads as they spoke about their employer, their friend — a man they called “The Big Kahuna.”

Rafael Lopez, 48, a tow-truck driver for Kozel for 10 years, said he was “a great man.”

“The best man in the world,” Lopez said. “Helped everybody. If you didn’t have no money, he don’t care.”

Kozel had a lifelong love of low-rider cars with big engines, the younger Michael Kozel said.

“He liked cars that went from zero to 60 and just threw you back in the seat,” he said.

The father was the proud owner of maroon low-rider Chevrolet Impala, but his family mattered far more than any possession.

He’d been married to his wife, Antonia, for more than 30 years.

“She’s lost her best friend,” his daughter, Amber Kozel, said of her mother.

The older Michael Kozel struggled with a fear of airplanes, but that didn’t stop him from traveling to Florida, Puerto Rico and Mexico, his daughter said.

“He hated flying, but he would go, because it made [his wife] happy,” Amber Kozel said.

The Gage Park neighborhood has been hit hard by robberies over the past few weeks.

Between Dec. 14 and Dec. 27, there were 11 holdups in the neighborhood. And during that period, overall crime spiked in the neighborhood compared to the time last year, police said.

Kozel’s shop is in police Beat 824 in the Chicago Lawn District. There were four robberies on that beat from Dec. 14 to Dec. 27, records show. A man also was killed in Beat 824 in a drive-by shooting on Jan. 1 in the 5800 block of South Sacramento.

There was another murder in Gage Park on Dec. 26 when a man was gunned down in the 5300 block of South California.

Merry Christmas and Happy Gun Control, Chicago

by Karen De Coster

Saturday, December 29, 2012

Chicago, one of America’s most Nazified, anti-gun cities, has just recorded its 500th homicide. This is another banner year for Rahm Emanuel’s tightly controlled non-gun “paradise.” Breitbart recently reported that Chicago’s own stats show that 440 school age children were shot in 2012 in Chicago’s paradise. Breitbart’s Awr Hawkins writes:

These numbers are well above those for the 2011-2012 school year, in which 319 Chicago students were wounded and another 24 were killed.

And yet, it has long been reported that the school where Rahm’s children attend to their education has an armed security guard. Additionally, his children also have an armed escort to get them to and from school, just like those Hollywood celebrities who clamor for gun control while they enjoy full-time, armed bodyguards. And yet, the citizen gun control puppets continue to lap up the “wisdom” of their Masters and spew their hyper-emotional pleas to be controlled and enslaved.

Oh – and what appeared in the Chicago Tribune just a few days ago? An article by Laura Washington, written in the usual Oprahified manner, stating that gun control would be the best present ever for those of us who lack Chicago’s glorious standards for paradise. In fact, Miss Laura openly calls for totalitarian decrees on the part of the Napoleonic branch of government:

Obama can do more. He can issue executive orders that will bypass the congressional sausage makers. He can deploy his White House bully pulpit to back similar state and local efforts.

If we don’t take action for the little angels of Sandy Hook, now, America will be forever haunted by the demons of gun violence.

In addition, Miss Laura also states that:

During the 2012 campaign, he avoided confrontations on gun control. When Obama was asked about gun control at a presidential debate, he punted. He was terrified of the People of the Gun, particularly in election swing states like Pennsylvania and Virginia.

People of the Gun? How cutesy. Actually, Obama and Rahm Emanuel both quickly realized, upon Obamanual’s first election, that they could not win the federal battle for gun control because so many states of free and law-abiding peoples are still heroically immersed in a gun culture, unlike their murder city. Like all of us, politicians pick their battles, and after Obamanual realized this battle could not be won, Emanuel separated from Obama and took his schemes back to the city that gave us both of these megalomaniac buffoons. Sorry Chicago, better that you have Rahm all to yourselves rather than the rest of us.

Chicago, feel free to revel in your gun control authoritarianism and ignore your city’s violence, murder, bloodshed, and perpetual terror, but you aren’t going to import your political enslavement and perverted twist of logic to the rest of us anytime soon.
