Chicago area mom tracked down teen son's alleged killer: 'I knew that it was him' | ABC7 Chicago

@@imanimoore4881 I was also raised by aa single mom. I am very successful. I didn't say every single mom was bad. I said the worst thing a child can have is a single mom. This is true. The one statistic that is consistent for determining people in prison is being raised by a single mom. This doesn't mean every single mom sucks just that kids are far more likely to not go to prison if raised by 2 parents. It is the single worst thing for a kid. 2 parents have a much higher success rate. This is just facts. Sorry your feelings don't like facts. Do some actual research and stop being such a wuss.

“They were playing a game?” Hummm so 34 yr old is “playing games” w/ a 17 yr old boy (is sketchy enuff) that includes loaded gun?...wonder what “game” they were playing? Very sad

[@marliorubik6305]

It's the street life .. there is no age in the wild .. everyone knows this who live that life .. there are 14 year old killers everywhere in Chicago just like 34 yr old killers around the world ..LIKE DUH, HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS .. it's the environment not an age .. it's a survival culture of killers atm and people who don't care about human life .. there are street codes and principles for people who engage in street culture..

It sucks to see her in pain, and she is obviously a great person. I hope the best for her and her family.

Good job mama 💪🏾💪🏾 my condolences to her and the family 🙏🏾 she is strong

Mom I'm with you. I'm sorry for your loss and send you my prayers.

[@astarisborn9820]

Curious what was the 17 year old doing with this unrelated 34 year old male???? That is the real question!

[@thebardguy7487]

I think you're deluded. Real question is why kill him. It's not a crime for a 17yr old to hang out with a 34yr old, but it's a crime to kill. That should be your priority

[@heartstrings7814]

When you see an older unrelated man with a teen boy........its unevenly yoked and something is not right. There can't be a solid reason why these two were in a house together. Check the history of that house and the answers will come.

What kind of game were had to end up like this.

[@Ezrait]

As a mom we are warriors. I would do anything for my children. She wanted closer for her son. God bless her. She is one strong woman!

Rest in peace to her son. Such a young soul taken too soon. Miss Bell is a true warrior.

The efforts to reduce incarceration in prisons is costing the communities it was supposed to help. The safest time in America was was when we locked animals away instead of parole and bonds for murder.

What was his son doing with this sus dude? Her son buying drugs off him?

[@edwinacejnar1574]

It’s sad that she had to do this on her own. No help. 😳

[@carlalongstreet2153]

Mom I'm so sorry that you having to go through this but I'm so grateful that you had the courage to find the killer so they will not let his death go unsolved or unsolved murder so just continue to speak out and the more you talk the more shed light it won't be as hard but it's going to be for surely hard but I see that you got a great support system which is very important

[@michaelpoyntz774]

Nothing makes sense in this homicide! The real truth is that a young man is very dead! Why would this national guard prospect be hanging out with a felon? Why was a gun involved, period? My bet is that something illicit was involved and somebody got either robbed or burnt ( no pun intended) in the deal. Something feels fishy in this episode!

[@dexterramey8787]

Whats crazy about that? He hung around who he lived around.

[@charlottemonroe7360]

[@queenroyalty7550]

Why does it make sense that a child is dead?

[@tenacious1]

He took her baby.... So when she faced him I bet there was absolutely no evidence of fear within her.

[@mojo_phee]

People gotta understand that parents don’t care anything about the “stop snitching” rule. The fact that a 34 and 17 year old is interacting in the same space and there’s no mentorship going on is beyond me. How did this dude even know her son and vice versus

[@ShaunteReneeDouthitt]

Exactly! I was wondering the same thing.

[@IslamIslam-vj5fz]

I wish they can go more back information to this story, why is a 34 year old man hanging around a 17 year old? If the mother knew that he did it then what was the motive?

[@honeyspoonbeewrangler4550]

He couldn't have been a random person his mother didn't know, she knew him somehow.

[@IslamIslam-vj5fz]

[@marliorubik6305]

teens kill everyday out here .. age is a stupid argument.. it's the streets and people know how much blood is out here in Chicago culture .. we've chose this life and KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES.. AGE IS IRRELEVANT.. all age are killers out here.. mostly much younger than 17 even

[@lumia57]

I'd ask why he had a teenage boy in his home! That does not sit well with Me as a Mother and Nanie I would have alarm bells going off at why he was in that man's home too R.I.P young man 💜🙏💜 thoughts with All your Family and Friends 💜🙏💜

[@JC-hf8yr]

Also ask the mom how did she know to go to his home ? Whats her connection with this man and why did she allow her son to be there? There is still a lot missing from this story.

[@lumia57]

Totally agree with you 💜🙏💜

[@kage5640]

Such Brave mother ❤️

[@-love-life3267]

It seems mom does not want to disclose why her son was hanging out with this sketchy dude in the first place. And that’s fine. But there are many incidents of predators online that target the naive and vulnerable. This guy probably is responsible for a lot of unsolved murders of people being found dead in alleys or abandoned buildings. PLENTY of those cases in Chicago. I’m glad she got justice. I just hope justice doesn’t set him free again. Smh
