Prosecutors, police issue conflicting statements about charges in fatal shooting of 12-year-old
By STMW NEWS
HAZEL CREST, Ill. - Prosecutors and police released conflicting statements Tuesday about whether there will be any charges in the fatal weekend shooting of a 12-year-girl in south suburban Hazel Crest.
After days of silence on the shooting, Police Chief Mitchell Davis issued a statement Tuesday morning calling the death of Erica Gibson a tragic accident involving children playing with a gun. A legal review by the Cook County state’s attorney’s office determined no criminal charges will be filed against the juvenile involved, Davis said. The investigation shows this to be another case of young people having access to an unsecured weapon in a home that had a tragic accident.

“Black women are the cavalry in every crisis, the care-takers in every community and the consistent protectors of our democracy. Black women are celebrated on election day and exploited at work every day. To be a Black woman today is to be called a queen and then told we aren’t qualified sometimes even in the same sentence,” Maya Wiley says in a press release provided to
theGrio.
“In New York City, that ends on November 2, 2021 when Black women show this country that Kamala Harris is the first, but not the last to make history. I am running to be the next Mayor of New York City because I want every last Black woman and girl in this city to see themselves in the seat of power. I want them to know there is no longer a need to find a folding chair to drag to a table we weren’t invited to. I want every Black woman and girl to see themselves at the head of the table, where they deserve to be.”
