A 20-year-old man was killed in a shooting during an attempted robbery in the parking lot of a gas station in the Calumet Heights neighborhood Monday morning, Chicago police said.
The shooting occurred at about 12:15 a.m. in the parking lot of a Shell gas station at 1650 E. 95th St., police said.
The witness said the victim was shot as he was trying to get away in his vehicle. He ended up crashing into a tree. A passenger inside the vehicle was not injured. "He would smile, and you just would crumble if you saw him smiling, the most charming person I ever met. We talk every day," his mother Tatiana Jones said."My son is my best friend. Everybody that knows me knows how obsessed I am with him. So whoever did this just killed me," Jones said.
"This is my only child. I don't have any more kids. I don't have any more children. Me and him talked about celebrating his 21st birthday; we talked about me being a grandma one day, and now all of that is gone because you wanted to rob him. He didn't have anything," Jones said.
