CRIME, Christopher Benson of Chicago shot dead in Maywood [M]

It was late Wednesday night on the 100 block of 12th Avenue when the shooting happened. It started with a gathering of men described as "acquaintances". Is this a euphamism for a gang or two gangs? If so, what gangs were involved?
See CBS2 (Sun-Times News Service):
“Benson [after he was shot] got into a grey four-door Chevy Corsica, didn’t realize he was hit and hit a fire hydrant, a pole and some parked cars,’’ as he was driving away, said Williams.

This is how his posse was apprehended.

  • Maywood is considered by law enforcement officials as probably the worst crime infested village/suburb in Illinois.
    My good friend who is a police officer in Westchester, states that he hears about horrible crimes being committed in Maywood every day on his police radio, and told me not to drive through Maywood, not even in the day time.
    I wonder why the people are demanding more of Maywood public officials and the police force, than they are about the high school? It seems every body has an opinion about the high school and is willing to call people out for there shenangins, but when it comes to the village of Maywood and there crime, every body is silent and absolutly qiet.
    I wonder if Charles Flowers is truely concerned about the children he should focus his energy, along with Kelly on fixing Maywood and stopping the crime!
