Need to stop chicago murderers.

They all call it "Ukranian Village", even though they know it's in some weird part of West Town that's not technically Ukranian Village. Close enough. They can walk up to the Chicago Avenue strip in under ten minutes.

Where is your proof that the victim and/or the perp were drinking? I see none in your link nor in other stories I have read about this incident.

This seems like a jealousy and/or revenge killing.

No, most shootings in Chicago are gang related or robberies.
2/20/09

"A pizzeria manager was mistakenly killed last summer by gang members out for revenge, Chicago police said this morning in announcing murder charges against two suspects."

"Bail was set this afternoon at $1 million each for alleged gang members Gabriel Contreras, 26, of the 1300 block of West Huron Street, and Anthony Collazo, 17, of the 1500 block of North Leavitt Street, charged in connection with the slaying of 29-year-old Jason Mueller as he was attempting to find a cab during the early morning hours of Aug. 10 near Grand and Wolcott Avenues."

"During the course of their investigation, police learned that Contreras had been shot in the arm about a month prior to Mueller's slaying as he was trying to shoot a rival gang member near Damen and Race Avenues, police said."

"On the morning of Mueller's slaying, Contreras and Collazo approached Mueller, believing he was a member of the same gang responsible for shooting Contreras, police said. Prosecutors said Collazo shot Mueller three times, fatally wounding him in the face, chest and buttock."

"Contreras' criminal background includes a 1999 armed robbery conviction for which he was sentenced to 6 years in prison, court records show. He was also sentenced to 3 years in prison for a 2007 felony drug conviction, for which he is currently on parole, according to the records."

"Contreras and Collazo are due back in court on March 10."

He was paroled that soon after the 2007 arrest despite being a second offender? That is absurd!
