Chicago Pastor and Project H.O.O.D. founder Corey Brooks joins ‘Fox News Live’ to discuss Chicago’s growing crime crisis and its impact on the community.
I recently celebrated my godson’s 21st birthday in June at Carson’s Ribs in downtown Chicago. We all laughed and joked as Christion Tucker tried red wine for the first time. Last week Christion was to begin his job at Project H.O.O.D., the non-profit I lead that works every day to build up our community by reducing violence.
Then, I got a call two weeks ago on a Sunday in August from his mother and the news shocked me. Christion had been shot multiple times while sitting in his car and he was no longer alive. As of now, we do not know why he was killed. All we know is that his death was senseless.
He was the last kid you would expect this to happen to. He was not a statistic. He was not "oh-he’s-from-the-South-Side-that’s-why." He came from a good family that loved him dearly. He was a good soul with so much to give to this world.
