Mom: 17-year-old Ronald Hayes killed shoveling snow in Chicago

It’s a shame what Barack OIbama’s hometown is like.  The lives of African Americans are extremely cheap.  But, at least their proud that city doesn’t have stop and frisk thanks to the kind of Liberal elites that are now running New York. 

Chicago Tribune reports a 17-year-old high school student whose family said he was earning money shoveling snow was shot to death on a sidewalk near his home on the Near West Side this afternoon.

The body of Ronald Hayes was discovered in the 1300 block of West Hastings Street around 4:15 p.m. Police found him unresponsive on the sidewalk after he was shot in the head, said Police News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien.

His body lay outside an apartment complex for several hours while police investigated the shooting Sunday afternoon. An off-white sheet lay over his body a few blocks from where he grew up and lived with his mother on West Washburne Avenue.

“He was a good kid,” his mother, Kathy Booker, said in an interview after she had returned home from seeing her son's body at the scene of the shooting. The Banner Academy West High School student “was very cheerful, joyful, playful. He loved to play with his brothers.”
