CHICAGO Chicago police have arrested a second suspect believed to be part of a carjacking crew that killed a retired fire lieutenant on Dec. 3.

Detectives working the homicide are seeking two other individuals.
Police said surveillance video showed Williams exchanging shots with three of four carjackers who rolled up on him after he bought popcorn.
The suspects fled the scene in the same vehicle they had arrived in, police said.
Williams’ daughter said the family was saddened after being told that a 15-year-old had been arrested, the Chicago Tribune reported. We are, of course, saddened that this was a child, Dakeeda Williams-Barton told the paper. I’m very disheartened that this was essentially a baby that has I don’t even know if they understand the repercussion their actions have caused.

We had the talk.
It is time to have the other talk.
Because I can’t think of anything worse than a 65-year-old man on a popcorn run getting fatally shot during a carjacking and a 15-year-old being charged with the crime.
The family of Dwain Williams, a former Chicago Fire Department lieutenant, has publicly expressed what so many families are feeling.
“I’m very disheartened that this was essentially a baby that has I don’t even know if they understand the repercussion their actions have caused,” Williams’ daughter Dakeeda Williams-Barton told the Chicago Tribune.

TGIF, Illinois. If a presidential nominee can use the “p” word and then the s in White House, it seems just fine for a presidential aide to
use the “f” word. When did politics become PG? Because I m not sure anyone told Rahm.
