Tyshawn Lee

Violence has grown worse in the year since Tyshawn Lee, 9, was shot to death.

Christopher Smith was denied bail in the slaying that started a gang war that left a 9-year-old dead.

Though violence is spiking, the forces driving it are different than in the ’90s, experts said.

The proposal came the same week a third man was charged in the vicious murder of the 9-year-old.

Kevin Edwards, 23, was charged with first-degree murder. He's being held without bail.

Kevin Edwards, 23, is the third of three suspects arrested in the slaying of Tyshawn Lee, 9.

Kristian Taylor, 30, is charged in the September 2013 murder of Shawntina Burpo.

Dwright Boone-Doty was also charged in the Oct. 18 slaying of Brianna Jenkins. 

Prosecutors in court outlined the brutal details of the murder of the Tyshawn Lee, 9.

The child was lured from a basketball game and slain to get back at his family, police said.

Women's basketball star Ruvanna Campbell wanted to honor Amari Brown and other victims of gun violence.

The 9-year-old never got to see his 10th birthday because he was "executed" in a South Side alley. 

Gang members waited as the 9-year-old played on swings before gunning him down, prosecutors said.

Activists called for an end to the violence that claimed the lives of Laquan McDonald and Tyshawn Lee.
