ARREST MADE IN THE SHOOTING DEATH OF 9 YEA OLD TYSHAWN LEE … GANG RELATED MURDER.

27 year old Corey Morgan has been arrested and charged with first degree murder in the shooting death of 9 year old Tyshawn Lee. The boy was shot in the face and back on November 2, 2015 as he headed to a park down the street from his grandmother’s house to play basketball. According to the police, Tyshawn Lee was lured into an alley in the 8000 block of South Damen Avenue on November 2, 2015 and killed because of his father’s gang ties. Police believe Tyshawn was killed in retaliation for the October 13 murder of Tracey Morgan, 25, who is the brother of Corey Morgan.

USA Today:

The Chicago Police Department announced on Friday that they have arrested a 27-year-old Chicago man for the brutal murder of a 9-year-old boy who was lured into an alley and executed earlier this month.

The suspect was identified as Corey Morgan, of Chicago, by the police department. Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy announced a 10 a.m. news conference to formally announce the arrest and charges against Morgan.

Police said they believe Tyshawn was targeted because of his father’s gang ties. The father, Pierre Stokes, previously told reporters he is not in a gang and does not believe his son’s killing was retaliation. Stokes is currently on probation for a 2011 armed robbery conviction. He was arrested and charged in June 2014 with unlawful use of a weapon, but has pleaded not guilty to that charge.

McCarthy previously described the Nov. 2 killing as part of a string of violence between rival gangs on the city’s South Side that started in August.

“Tyshawn Lee was murdered in probably the most abhorrent, cowardly, unfathomable crime that I’ve witnessed in 35 years of policing,” McCarthy told reporters earlier this month as police searched for tips

One Man Dead and 3 Women Hurt in a Shooting a Dispute Over a Dice Game at Tennessee State University in Nashville, TN

From Nashville, TN Metro Police …

One man is dead and three women have been wounded as a result of a shooting that took place at Tennessee State University in Nashville, TN. According to accounts, the shooting took place over a dispute over a dice game. The incident occurred outside courtyard of the Floyd-Payne Campus Center at approximately 10:52 p.m. Thursday, as witnesses heard gunshots prompting the call to TSU police.

Officials said the victim who was killed was believed to be a 19-year-old who was not a TSU student. The three females were TSU coeds. Two females that were wounded and transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The third one’s injuries did not require medical attention. None of the girls injuries were considered life threatening. The shooting suspect is also said not to be a TSU student and still remains at large.

Authorities say a man was killed and three women wounded in a shooting at Tennessee State University in Nashville Thursday night.

The gunman was at large early Friday, the campus was on lockdown and classes were cancelled for the day.

According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department’s verified Twitter account, the gunfire was apparently prompted by a dispute over a dice game in an outdoor courtyard.

In a statement, the school said two males who weren’t TSU students “may have been gambling. It is reported the two exchanged gunfire and one was fatally wounded.”

Really, you would kill some one over a dice game? What may make this incident even more disturbing is that neither of one the individuals involved in the shooting, the victim or the suspect, were TSU students. Then why the hell were they on campus putting actual TSU students at risk?

On Tuesday  in a road rage incident, Tony Torrez fired shots at the vehicle driven by Alan Garcia, the father of murdered Lilly Garcia. According to police reports, Garcia and Torrez exchanged words before Torrez pulled out a gun and fired at Garcia’s truck. Who the hell in their right mind does this? He had to have seen that there were children in the car.

Albuquerque police said late Wednesday that a suspect had confessed to a road rage shooting that killed a four-year-old girl on Interstate 40.

Authorities said Tony Torrez, 32, had been charged with murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, assault with the intent to commit a violent felony, shooting at or from a motor vehicle, child abuse, child abuse resulting in death and tampering with evidence.

This is the precious child, 4 year old Lilly Garcia who was murdered

Police said Alan Garcia was traveling westbound on Interstate 40 and was attempting to exit the freeway when Torrez’s vehicle cut across traffic and forced Garcia out of his lane. Investigators said Garcia and Torrez exchanged words before Torrez pulled out a gun and fired at Garcia’s truck.

Lilly Garcia was struck at least once in the head. She was rushed to a local hospital, but was later pronounced dead. Her father and brother were unhurt.

UPDATE I: Anonymous Tipster turns Torrez into Police.

Torrez told an acquaintance that “he shot the girl on Interstate 40″ and that Garcia’s “red truck tried to run Tony off the road,” the court documents said. The acquaintance later became an anonymous tipster to police, and his information was used in Torrez’s arrest warrant.

After he was arrested, Torrez “confessed” to the shooting, said police Chief Gorden Eden.

The anonymous tipster told police that Torrez’s address on his driver’s license and registration weren’t correct, and gave two other addresses for Torrez on the same street.

It appears the family did not know the suspect, police told CNN affiliate KOAT.

Rest in Peace Officer Holder

A New York City police officer was shot and killed late Tuesday in the East Harlem section of the city after he responded to a report of shots fired and an armed robbery.

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton identified the murdered officer as Randolph Holder, 33, a five-year veteran of the force. Holder was an officer in the department’s Housing Bureau, which polices the city’s public housing developments.

“Tonight, he did what every other officer in the NYPD does,” Bratton said. “When the call comes, he ran toward danger. It was the last time he will respond to that call.”

Bratton said Holder and his partner responded to a report of shots fired at East 102nd Street on the city’s Upper East Side. Witnesses told the officers a man had fled on a foot path and the officers encountered another man who told them an assailant had stolen his bicycle at gunpoint. Bratton said the officers confronted the suspect and pursued him to the intersection of East 120th Street and the FDR Drive, where gunfire rang out. One witness told Fox 5 that she heard at least five shots.

Holder was shot in the forehead and rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:22 p.m. Dozens of uniformed and plainclothes officers lined the hospital hallway while other officers held each other as they arrived.
