In life, Sam Moy was alternately known as the king and mayor of Chinatown, and though the titles were honorary, when he died, his body lay in state in the middle of South Clark Street.
Mexico business robbed at gunpoint
MEXICO, Mo. (KMIZ)
Mexico police say a business was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon.
Police did not name the business in the 2700 block of South Clark Street in a news release. A man entered the business, pointed a gun at an employee and got away with about $300, the Mexico Department of Public Safety said in a news release.
Police described the robber as a little more than 6 feet tall and clean-shaven, wearing a dark jacket, dark baseball cap, blue jeans and large sunglasses. He might have been seen in the area with a black umbrella, according to a news release.
Wong Chin Foo preached the gospel of assimilation to his fellow Chinese Americans. But he didn't shy away from confronting America over its failures to follow through on its ideals.
An Uber driver rushed two strangers to the hospital one with a gunshot wound and one suffering injuries from a car crash after a drive-by shooting in Bronzeville late Tuesday, police said.
