Speak Out!

Good Morning Ladies!

Unfortunately, another tragic and yet senseless death happened this past Wednesday in Chicago, IL.  Rekia Boyd who was  only 22 years old was shot by an off-duty Chicago police officer by  Douglas Park.

Last Wednesday, an off-duty officer approached a crowd of individuals in his car and requested that they quiet down. One of the individuals, Anthony Cross, approached the officer. Thinking he was holding a gun, the officer open-fired, striking Cross in the hand and  Rekia Boyd in the head. Rekia  who was completely innocent died later that afternoon. Cross says he was holding a cell phone, not a handgun.

“There were 60-70 people in the park and no one had a gun. Everyone was just out there to hang out, that’s it,” said witness Leo Coleman on Wednesday.

A rally was  held yesterday at at Douglas Park in Chicago to demand Justice for Rekia Boyd.
