Custody After Retaliation
Man Charged
Murder Of Boy, 9
With Killing
A 27-year-old Lansing, Ill., man was charged with first-de- gree murder in the death of Tyshawn Lee, who police said was lured earlier this month to an alley on the South Side of Chicago and shot sev- eral times in retaliation for a gang-related shooting.
The man, Corey Morgan, 27, is one of "at least three" sus- pects allegedly involved in the case, Chicago Police Superin- tendent Garry McCarthy said Friday. He was ordered held without bail Friday.
Authorities also issued an arrest warrant on first-degree murder charges for the third suspect, Kevin Edwards, 22, the report says.
The state's attorney's office attributed the shooting to an ongoing feud between Mor- gan's gang, the BBG (Bang Bang Gang)/Terror Dome faction of the Black P Stones and the Killaward faction of the Gangster

Disciples.
The feud reached a peak on
Oct. 13, writes the news outlet, when Morgan's brother was killed and his mother was wounded during a shooting. Morgan reportedly threat- ened to shoot "grandmas, mamas, kids and all" in retali- ation, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said Morgan and two other men went out daily looking to retaliate. "On Nov. 2 they were driving around when they spotted Tyshawn at Dawes Park and one of the men lured him into the alley where they shot him," the report says.
KANSAS
CITY, KS ----
Michael A.
Jones, a
Kansas City,
KS, father, is at
the center of a
gruesome in- MICHAEL vestigation fol- A. JONES lowing the
suspected death of his 7-year- old son. Jones is accused of feeding his son to pigs after beating him to death.
It all started when the Kansas City Police Department received a call about an armed disturbance at Michael A. Jones’ residence on the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 5. Jones had been accused of attacking his wife, 29-year-old Heather Jones, and firing a gun at her. When investigators entered the home, they found seven children — ranging from ages1to11—livinginde- plorable conditions. But, as the morning investigation pro- gressed, an unnamed person asked investigators to also search for the decomposed body of Jones’ 7-year-old son. Investigators learned the boy had been missing for “an ex- tended period of time” and im- mediately began searching for him.
After conducting an exten- sive search, local authorities made a gruesome find in the barn where Michael A. Jones lived. It has been re- ported that investigators found human remains. Although the remains have yet to be identi- fied, investigators believe the remains may belong to Jones’ son.
One of the former babysit- ters has revealed that Michael A. Jones may not have been the only person re- sponsible for the boy’s death. Jones’ wife, the boy’s step- mother, may have also been involved. The unnamed former babysitter insists Jones’ wife “hated that child.”
“She said she hated that child, did not want him there, wanted him gone but just didn’t know how to do it,” one former babysitter said. “She said it wouldn’t be hard to say he went missing because they lived out where they lived which doesn’t, isn’t really was not around too many people.”
She purchased livestock in September, which is why in- vestigators assume the little boy may have been eaten by the pigs after being beaten to death by his father. Michael A. Jones has been arrested and charged with one count of aggravated battery, one count of aggravated assault with a firearm and one count of child abuse in connection with se- ries of events that occurred on Nov. 25. He is being held on $10M bond. His wife, however remains free.

Colorado Springs Shooter Kills 3, Wounds 9

Robert Dear walked into the clinic and opened fire.
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Chicago's major retail shopping district Friday, just days after police released disturbing video of an officer shooting a Chicago teen 16 times, according to The New York Times.
Led by the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., U. S. Reps. Bobby Rush and Danny K. Davis, marchers called for justice in the shooting death of Laquan McDonald, who was unceremoniously gunned down by a white Chicago po- lice officer, last year.
Chanting, "Sixteen shots! Thirteen months!” they called attention to the number of bullet wounds the teenager re- ceived during the fatal en- counter, and the amount of time it took to the officer,
Jason Van Dyke, to be charged, the report says.
He was charged this week with first-degree murder. And even "President Barack Obama said he was 'deeply disturbed' by the footage.’’
Police were forced to close the six-lane avenue to vehicles to accommodate marchers. Al- though there were no threats of violence, some businesses locked their doors for at least part of the day, losing out on sale of one of the biggest shop- ping days of the year.
The local NAACP chapters joined the call for a federal probe of the police depart- ment, with elected black lead- ers calling for a U. S. Justice Department investigation into the police's handling of the McDonald shooting.
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO ---The two civilian victims of an attack on a Planned Par- enthood clinic in Colorado Springs were identified Sun- day as an Army veteran and a lovable mother.
Officials said Jennifer Markovsky, 36, and Ke'Arre Marcell Stewart, 29, were killed along with po- lice Officer Garrett Swasey in the hours-long attack Fri- day. Each of the victims had two children.
Family members said Markovsky was originally from Hawaii. Markovsky was at Planned Parenthood on Friday supporting a friend, her family said, when sus- pected gunman Robert Dear rushed in and started shoot- ing.
Stewart's mother, Sharon Lloyd, was also heartbroken. "I don't know if he (Dear) understands the pain he has caused this family, how much he has damaged and changed our lives," she said.
Lloyd said her son was a
"good boy" and had two girls, ages 7 and 11.
Stewart was an Iraq war veteran who had recently left the military.
The shooter, Robert L. Dear Jr. was a man who lived off the grid.
On this lonely, snow-cov- ered patch of land in a hamlet ringed by the Rocky Moun- tains, his home was a white trailer, with a forest-green four-wheeler by the front door and a modest black cross painted on one end.
As police officers sur- rounded it on Saturday, look- ing for clues to what they said had sent its owner on a shoot- ing rampage at a Planned Par- enthood center that left three dead and nine wounded, neighbors said they barely knew him, beyond one man’s memory of his handing out anti-Obama political pam- phlets. The official said that Mr. Dear “said a lot of things” during his interview, making it difficult for the au- thorities to pinpoint a specific motivation.
