The anatomy of a daylight shooting in Austin
In the middle of a ‘Street Beat’ interview, gunshots rang out By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
At around 1:25 p.m. on April 7, inside of Corcoran Grocery, on the corner of Central Avenue and West Corcoran Place, a native West Sider was asked about his experience growing up in Austin. “I’ve been here all of my life,” he said. “I grew up here.” Was he proud of being from the West Side? “Yeah. I’ve made it here all my life,” he said. “This is all I know. I moved away and wound up coming back. Back to my roots.” As this conversation was happening, a young, African American man who appeared to be in his 20s came inside of the store, shopped for a few minutes and left out, music from portable speakers blaring in his wake. How has the neighborhood changed over time?

DEATH COMES IN THE AFTERNOON: Bystanders gather near the scene of a murder in Austin on April 7. One man was killed and several bystanders were wounded when the occupants of a gray or white vehicle drove by Corcoran Grocery and began shooting in the middle of the day. “It’s changed a lot,” the older man said. “Different things done changed. I was here before cell phones and computers and cameras and all that stuff. Social media changed the whole area.” The man didn’t appear entirely comfortable with this random moment of introspection. He had been thrown off by the request for an interview, which started with President Trump, about whom, the man said, he didn’t have an opinion. So he was asked to talk about life on the West Side. Although uncomfortable, he labored for a language to articulate his home and what it means to be born and to live in Austin. To live through it.
He wanted to have the words and seemed to be fighting to lift his thoughts above the gravity of the mundane — an elderly black woman sitting by a window, near an ice cream freezer, waiting on someone to ask her to scoop out a serving; the infectious bump of the rapper and producer Future decibels away, just outside of Corcoran’s concrete walls. What made him return home after having left so many years ago? Before the Austin native could answer, a barrage of bullets assaulted the senses. At least a dozen rounds were fired in quick, random succession, like kernels popping. Within microseconds, bodies inside of the store were crouched, shaking, prostrate,
standing paralytic. Several seconds later, the piercing sound stopped and, after a moment of silence, someone near the store’s entrance asked, “Am I shot?” “If you was shot, you wouldn’t be walking!?” said someone else, before a voice further in the distance, just a few feet south of Corcoran, yelled, “B.J. shot! “Who?!” “B.J.!” “S—t! No! No! No!” “He dead.” A crowd of at least a dozen people gathered around the 20-something-year old who had not long ago walked out of Corcoran, See DAYLIGHT SHOOTING on page 4

STREET beat
James Cole, 73, explores violence at the root After an April 7 ‘Street Beat’ interview with an Austin resident was interrupted by a fatal drive-by shooting on the corner of Central Avenue and West Corcoran Place, I returned the next day for a press conference being held at the scene of the crime. That’s where I met James Cole, the owner of Shine King, a business located on Corcoran, near the area where Byron McKinney, Jr. was shot and killed. I was inside [when the shooting happened]. This is really kids fighting each other. They fight little personal fights and they want to display it on the streets. They’re fighting over little money. That’s what makes the fight bigger. We have to work on a lot of stuff. We got to work on personal problems. When these kids come around here, they need all kinds of counseling and everything. There are kids who go through the state system and they drop them off on the street. They got to be taught to understand that they can do something. You don’t have to know everything to get a job. Just work the job you can work. But it’s hard to tell them that. They want all the money they can get right now. You got to learn how to have money before you get money.
On the violence It ain’t just this area. This is all over Chicago. The personal problems make it appear like it’s everybody out here doing this stuff. It’s not. I don’t care what neighborhood you go into, you’ll find two or three people bad in the bunch. But seven or eight are not bad at all. People got to understand that.

Austin Weekly News, April 12, 2017
DAYLIGHT SHOOTING One murdered from page 1 taking the sound of his music with him. Apparently, the shooting started as soon as he stepped out of the store, with the shooter — assuming there was only one — aiming at B.J. as he ran south on Central Avenue. Not long into his attempt to escape, the young man dropped on the sidewalk, his body limp near a CTA bus stop, where shards of glass met blood. He was not yet dead. He was gasping for air, fighting as he lay still. On the ground, he may have heard sounds, textured with dread, coming from a shrill chorus crowded around his body — shouts to stay awake, to pray. “Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!” one woman shouted. “You see what the f—k we go through? Every f—ing day!” said another woman to no one in particular, and to everyone, as she walked away from the malaise. “Talk to him! Talk to him!” instructed a man who, along with several other bystanders, hovered over the victim. B.J. may have heard the blare of traffic, police sirens, car horns, the admonition of cops clearing the scene — the gravity of the mundane. The police arrived shouting and mad, bulldozing their way through the crowd, yelling commands, taping off the perimeter, turning people who claimed to have known the young man, and to have seen the shooting, into mumbling spectators. The first-responding officers seemed less focused on shoving potential witnesses away than asking about details of the shooting. What was seen and heard and experienced came out piecemeal and almost by happenstance. There was more passion in the confrontations between the civilians and the cops, who did not still the chaos as much as shift its focus. So the scene of a daytime shooting and, as later news reports would have it, a murder (of one young black man by, it is likely, another), became an arena pregnant with the possibility of another conflagration of violence. An African American man, a few dozen feet away from B.J., had apparently hauled off and punched another African American man before being restrained by an officer. Two bodies now lay in the street. Another officer, yelling and pointing, rushed over to where B.J. lay. A few people were still administering CPR. Ruby Humphrey, 56, said that she was standing next to B.J., near the entrance to Corcoran, when the shots rang out. Witnesses say the gunfire came from a gray or white van. Humphrey confirmed that the shots were coming from a vehicle, but said that she couldn’t identify it. Humphrey may have been the last person to speak with the victim, who she said was nicknamed “B.J.” by those in the neighborhood. No one could give his real name. “I said, ‘Where you living at now? You used to live over here.’ Soon as I walked away,

AFTER THE CHAOS: Elected officials and community leaders, including Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin (1st), far right, and Danny K. Davis (7th), second to right, during a Saturday morning press conference in front of Corcoran Grocery in Austin. they was shooting,” she said. “They shot all in that doorway [of Corcoran]. They shot in the store. I haven’t been in nothing like this before.” Humphrey, who said that she’s homeless, added that she didn’t know B.J. to have been involved with gangs, “but you know how these people are around here. They try to force you into that stuff.” According to a report published hours after the shooting by the Chicago Tribune, “four other men and a teenage boy” were shot along with B.J. They were taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, where they’re in good condition. B.J. was rushed to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, where he was pronounced dead. A relative told Chicago Tribune reporters that the victim was 23 and that “Facebook killed him.” “[T]hat’s what did it,” the man said. “They boxing over Facebook. It’s so stupid.” The cousin told the reporters that B.J. was seen by people inside of a “gray vehicle traveling east” as the young man walked out of Corcoran. The cousin said that the other people who were wounded were bystanders. They ranged in age from 17 to 46 and were all shot in the lower extremities. Police found at least 27 shell casings at the scene. They were marked by “little yellow
police cards,” Chicago Tribune reporters wrote. Before those markers were placed, police had urged bystanders not to accidentally kick any of the casings as they were backing away from B.J.’s body. “Papa you ain’t got no pennies do you?” Humphrey asked a reporter as she was walking across the street in order to get outside of the taped-off crime scene. When she got to the “L” station entrance, she was asked whether or not she would be willing to be photographed. “What’s this for?” she said, while striking a pose. Someone asked her about the vehicle. “I didn’t see it,” Humphrey said. “Baby, I was so busy running I hit the ground. God take care of us fools.”
The morning after The next day, on April 8, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office released its daily ledger. The third case listed is that of Byron McKinney, Jr., a 24-year-old black male of the 500 block of North Pine Ave. At 10 a.m., Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin (1st) convened a press conference in front of Corcoran Grocery “to demand immediate action following mass
shooting in Austin.” At the scene, which was taped off for several hours after the incident, the shards of glass and blood from the afternoon before had been swept away. Commuters waited for the 85 Central at the bus stop, inches from the spot where McKinney dropped dead. Shoppers streamed in and out of Corcoran. People gathered in front of storefronts, basking in the summertime weather. Except for the bus stop’s missing glass and the lower left portion of Corcoran’s glass doorway that had been shattered by a bullet, it was hard to tell that a fatal shooting had happened less than 24 hours earlier. “It’s a great morning, but it’s also a sad morning,” said Ald. Emma Mitts (37th). “Every day or every other day someone is being shot down. All I know is funeral after funeral.” Mitts said that while on her way to work that morning, she had mistaken the head of an angel that she has in her home for a bullet hole. “That little angel has white wings with a black head,” she said. “I look and says, ‘There’s a bullet hole in my window. Lo and behold, it was in my mind. There was an angel there looking at me, but in my mind [I saw a bullet hole].” Boykin, along with Mitts, Ald. Chris Taliaferro (29th), Congressman Danny K. Davis
Austin Weekly News, April 12, 2017 (7th) and Rev. Ira Acree, demanded that local, state and federal leaders release a comprehensive plan to address the violence on the city’s West and South Sides. “This violence is in three [police] districts primarily,” said Boykin. “District 15, District 11 and District 7. I know we have the collective will and political courage to reduce this violence. We must do it because we must save our children. We must save our young people. Senior citizens who live in this community deserve to walk down the street without fear of being shot and killed.” “People who control budgets can send resources to get some of these young men some jobs, give them viable options for life,” said Acree, the pastor of Greater St. John Bible Church in Austin who, over his 27 years of pastoring, has buried a small congregation of people slain by gun violence. “We’re calling upon the governor, the mayor and the president of the county board to help us,” Acree said. “And we’ll pledge that we’ll continue to do our part.” Taliaferro said that he’d heard from residents who lauded efforts by the police to clear the scene. He also praised one officer’s efforts to revive McKinney shortly after he was shot. But he criticized the department’s leadership for not calling him in the shooting’s aftermath. “It has been almost 24 hours and as alderman of this ward, I have not received a phone call from the police superintendent assuring me they have a plan in place to help reduce violence in this community and stop the bloodshed,” Taliaferro said. Taliaferro added that he plans on meeting with 15th District Commander [Betts] about some officer’s treatment of bystanders while trying to clear the scene. The alderman also emphasized what he said was the city’s unfocused efforts at stopping the violence on the West and South Sides, particularly when compared to the focus given to dealing with North Side traffic. “I have not heard from the superintendent’s command staff, but I look at the news and see how much they’re preparing for the traffic at Wrigley Field,” said Taliaferro, who is a former Chicago police sergeant. “I’m worried because I don’t see that same concern about the gun violence on the West and South Sides of Chicago.” Acree, who said that members of his church were passing out pieces of religious literature in the area of the shooting while it was taped off, described a “tale of two cities in Chicago.” “I was just teaching up at North Park University a few weeks ago,” he said. “On the North Side, you can be safe, but when you come to North Lawndale, you got to duck and dodge. In Austin, wives can’t even go to their cars at night. It’s obvious that you can’t even walk out in the daytime.” While talking about the lack of federal funding focused on poor, minority areas across the country, Congressman Davis subtly referenced President Donald Trump. The day before McKinney was killed, the president ordered the launching of 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at a Syrian airbase, which U.S. government officials believe was used to launch a chemical weapons attack on Syrian
civilians earlier in the week. “You cannot go into a state in this country and not find poverty, deprivation, people who have almost given up and lost hope,” said Davis, whose own grandson was murdered on the South Side last year. “They don’t know what else to do.” “We all know that money is scarce, but it’s not too scarce to bomb and shoot missiles,” Davis said. “It’s not too scarce to kill people without knowing whether or not they were the targets that you ought to be looking at.” West Side resident Anthony Ruffin, 46, posited himself as the embodiment of the poverty and depravity that Davis referenced. “They done took everything we had here,” Ruffin said. “The after school programs, the summer jobs. They done closed the schools. You got guys who will do whatever is necessary to take care of their families. I’m an exoffender, I been out for over 10 years. I done did everything they asked me to do and it ain’t no jobs here in the city. All the jobs they are giving us are out in suburbs where we can’t get to.” “We can’t do it alone,” Davis said, responding to Ruffin’s comments. “If I could appropriate $5 million to do something on this block, I’d say, ‘Well let’s do it.’ But I can’t do it alone. You’ve got to help convince others to have the same thoughts and ideas we have. Nobody in the country does more for ex-offenders than I do.” James Cole, 73, owns Shine King, a venerable shoe-shining store that’s a few doors down from Corcoran. Cole also owns the building where Corcoran is located, as well as several parcels across the street. He was inside of Shine King when the shooting happened. “This is really kids fighting each other,” Cole said. “They fight little personal fights and they want to display it on the streets … I’ve been working every day for the last 53 years. I hope things go right. I’m scared to stay in bed sometimes.” On Facebook, a compilation of old photos of McKinney, including one that shows him in a cap and gown, were posted to the timeline of his mother, Charlene Redmond. The post had generated over 700 like, sad and cry emojis, and over 280 comments, most expressing condolences, within a span of fewer than 48 hours. As the politicians and news cameras dispersed, Beverly Hughes was sitting inside of the glassless bus shelter, waiting for the 85 Central. She said that she’s aware of what happened on Friday afternoon but that it wasn’t going keep her from getting to work. Was she at least a little more afraid considering what happened yesterday in broad daylight? “Baby, it’s fearful out here, period,” Hughes said. “I done lost a son to this crap. They shot my baby five times for his car.” So how does she cope with the fear? How does she handle the cloud of sudden death hovering over this sunlit Saturday afternoon? “Grace of God,” Hughes said. “That’s how I deal with it. If it’s my time, it’s my time. But it’s sad out here. Very sad.” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

A brief history of violence
The intersections flanking the Central Avenue Green Line ‘L’ station are hotbeds for violent crime By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor
Despite a regular police presence in the area and surveillance cameras suspended over the heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic, the intersections around the Central Avenue Green Line, which is flanked by Lake Street to the north and West Corcoran Place to the south, are hotspots for violent crime. The regularity with which shootings and murders have happened over the last several years is particularly striking considering that the area is within a few minutes’ walk from a high school campus, a park district facility, a daycare, numerous churches and a range of businesses.
Below is a short list of some of the violent crimes in the area that have garnered news coverage over the years: ■
Oct. 28, 2011 “About 15 minutes later [11:15 p.m.], an 18-year-old man was shot in the chest in the 5500 block of West Corcoran Place, police said. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition.” Source: NBC Chicago ■ April 7, 2014 “Three men were wounded Monday morning in a shooting on the city’s West Side near Lake Street and Central Avenue in the Austin neighborhood “All three men were shot in the lower extremities, and one was also hit in the back, Chicago police said, just after 11 a.m. in what appears to be a drive-by shooting.” Source: ABC 7 Chicago ■ Oct. 24, 2014 “Family members embrace at the scene
where two men were shot, including a 23-year-old man who was killed, Saturday, Oct. 24, 2014 in the 5500 block of West Corcoran Place in Chicago.” Source: Chicago Tribune ■
April 14, 2016 “About 9:40 p.m., a 22-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man were walking towards a parking lot in the 5500 block of West Corcoran Place when they heard shots and realized that they’d been hit, police said. “The woman suffered a gunshot wound to the left arm and a graze wound to the back, was taken to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park and was later transferred to Stroger Hospital, police said. The man was shot in the abdomen and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital. Both of their conditions were stabilized.” Source: Chicago Sun-Times ■ Dec. 31, 2016 “About an hour earlier, another person was shot in the West Side Austin

Lured by grants, businesses looking to relocate to Austin The Austin Thrive Zone offers grant money to businesses located within their boundaries
By WENDELL HUTSON Contributing Reporter
A recent meeting organized by the African American Business Networking Association attracted 50 business owners and entrepreneurs interested in expanding or opening a business in Austin. “The reason we had this meeting was to give businesses the ‘right’ information as it relates to the Retail Thrive Zones,” explained Malcolm Crawford, executive director of the African American Business Networking Association. “So many times we have a lack of information and that’s what killing us in our community.” Lclat Baxter owns Jamaican Grill restaurant in Oak Park and was among numerous business owners looking to setup shop in Austin who attended an April 6 meeting, held at Sankofa Cultural Arts & Business Center, 5820 W. Chicago Ave. “I live in North Lawndale and own a restaurant in Oak Park but I would love to do business in Austin where I am already involved with volunteer work,” said Baxter, who mentors to youth. “If I get the opportunity to open a business in Austin I can hire troubled youth to get them off the street.” The Chicago Department of Planning and Development oversees the Retail Thrive Zones initiative, a three-year pilot program designed to help strengthen the economic vitality of commercial corridors in certain neighborhoods, including Austin, Englewood, Back of the Yards, Bronzeville, Chatham, South Shore, West Humboldt Park, and West Pullman.

EYEING AUSTIN: About 50 business owners and entrepreneurs attend an April 6 meeting in Austin to learn about new grant opportunities to expand to the area, which was recently designated a Retail Thrive Zone. Last October, the City Council voted to establish the zones. The one in Austin covers an expanse of Chicago Avenue, from Austin Boulevard to Laramie Avenue. Austin is the largest populated community in Chicago, but it is also one of the most economically challenged communities in the city, contends Charles Walls, a former retail analyst with J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., and now an entrepreneur.

“The entire West Side is hurting for more productive businesses but especially in Austin where most of the West Side exist,” said Walls. “I worked 10 years as an analyst before I started a residential cleaning business and I saw firsthand where the money was going in Chicago. And I can tell you the West Side is missing out on a lot of opportunities afforded to North Side communities and Downtown businesses.” Two grants available to businesses located in the Thrive Zone, the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund and the Small Business Improvement Fund, provide up to $250,000 for such costs as new construction or rehabilitation and is funded by tax-increment financing dollars, said Jacob Stern, a senior vice president for SomerCor 504 Inc., whose company is an administer for the program. Stern told attendees at the meeting that the grants serve as a reimbursement for costs and a lender for upfront costs may still be needed. He reminded those interested in applying to do so before the April 21 deadline, and applications can be downloaded online at thrivezones.com. Another business owner, Calvita Frederick, said she owns Magnolia Spice Teas, a beverage company, but wants to open a manufacturing facility in Austin. “I want to open in Austin because there’s a need here and the grant funding is for this community,” said Frederick, who is also an attorney. “Sometimes as a business owner you have to go where the money is and right now that’s in Austin.” For more information about the grants, visit thrivezones. com.

CONFLICTING HOPES?: The site of the former William King Elementary School, which closed in 2013. West Side residents want it turned into affordable housing units.
Residents want affordable housing on site of old school Two bids for the site of the former William King Elementary School under review by CPS By TERRY DEAN AustinTalks
Residents of the 28th Ward want one of their closed schools to be used for affordable residential housing, and they want their alderman to ensure that happens. Ald. Jason Ervin told residents at his monthly meeting last week that he agrees with their wish for William King Elementary School, 740 S. Campbell, which closed in 2013. But Ervin stressed that housing wasn’t a done deal yet and the property still has to go through Chicago Public Schools’ bid/purchase process. Residents were surprised when Ervin updated them on the process — that two bids for the school are currently being reviewed by CPS, one for single-family homes and the other for “school use.” Residents said they made their intentions clear at an earlier meeting held by the alderman, where they took a public vote in favor of residential housing. Residents accused Ervin of backing away from that commitment and playing “politics” with the property now. Ervin stressed that his position hasn’t changed but that he has no control over who submits bids to CPS and for what use. The alderman said if any winning bid is something other than residential housing, then that would need to come back to the community for more discussion. But that explanation didn’t satisfy some of the roughly 50 people listening last Tuesday at Altgeld Park’s Field House. “So what was our first meeting for? What was the point of that?” asked one resident. Ervin said that meeting was to get community feedback about what they’d like to see at that site, adding: “Nothing has been decided.
Nothing is final.” King Elementary was among 50 schools closed by CPS in May 2013. Residents of the 28th Ward said the shuttered building, which covers roughly 51,000 square feet, has attracted drug-selling and loitering. Some closed schools have been purchased since 2013, including Austin’s Leland Elementary School, 512 S. Lavergne, last year by youth nonprofit KidzExpress. This year’s deadline for bids on about 30 closed schools was March 13. King Elementary is in an area zoned for residential properties, designated as “RT,” which includes two-flats and town houses, and “RM” for multi-unit housing. Ervin said any parcel can be re-zoned to a specific purpose based on the community’s desire. “If somebody comes with something other than a single-family residential concept, we’ll be back here for discussion,” Ervin said. One resident speaking with AustinTalks, who didn’t want to give his name, said they were being told something completely different. “There was a vote. They sat there and counted, and they made everyone believe that’s what they were choosing, and now he’s telling us the opposite,” the resident said. Ervin told AustinTalks it was unlikely that King would be used for some other use but acknowledged “there’s always the possibility” that might not happen. “I can’t stop CPS from selling that property to the highest bidder,” Ervin told residents. ”Whoever wins the [King] property, it’s totally up to the community to say yes or no to what’s being presented.” CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com

The first step to a Great American Novel
bout 45 years ago, I was walking across the gravel lot that was Cooley High School’s parking lot. I was headed to catch the Division Street bus, and the sun was shining brightly. I can still hear the distinctive sound my shoes made crossing that lot when all of a sudden a loud version of my inner voice told me I was going to write the Great American Novel. One of the first things that happened when I heard the pronouncement was to question just where that came from. I didn’t have a passion for writing at that time. In truth, it was a struggle just to write the book reports for school. Plus, I felt all the Great American Novels had already been written. There was Gone with the Wind. I don’t think I had read the book at that time, but my mom and I had gone to a downtown movie theater to see it. Or The Wizard of Oz. In an era where we didn’t have movies at our fingertips, The Wizard of Oz was a classic that I sat down to watch whenever it came on television. Finally, my mind settled on the novel, The Grapes of Wrath. Why I thought of that book, I cannot say. Maybe it was because we were supposed to be boycotting grapes in solidarity with Cesar Chavez. I was 17-18 at the time, and I was silently arguing with a voice which made a prediction that didn’t make sense at the time. Over the years, the memory of that day never left me. It remained vivid as a constant nudge toward what I was supposed to do. It was only when I first began writing

for this newspaper in 2003 that I truly tapped into my natural desire and ability to write. It started with a couple of columns a month. I would think of current local events and eventually settle on one to be my topic. It didn’t take long for me to go from a column every other week to once a week. To this day, I have never suffered from “writer’s block.” Rather, the fight is deciding which topic to settle on. When I wrote my first novel in 2009, I didn’t know how to write a book. What I did was sit down and just begin telling the story. Even today, when I look back at what I wrote pretty much off the top of my head, some of the subplot themes I mentioned in the beginning of the book are validated or connected at the end of the book. I don’t know if other writers have to sketch out their book and plots in details to be able to connect the dots later, but for me it is something I do without giving it much thought. I write all the time. I have a number of finished, but unpublished, manuscripts that I’m trying to get published. My most recent novel, which took me four years to research and write, is the one I am calling my Great American Novel. It is the one I am willing to risk everything for and as I come closer to publishing it, I will share the premise of it. If the journey toward my end goal is a million miles, it all begins with the first step. I am taking that step.
