Avondale shooting: Andre Vasquez shot dead, Krystal Hethcoat seriously injured

Krystal Hethcoat and her son, Andre Vasquez.

Sadly, this tragic shooting may be gang or drug related.

16-year-old Andre Vasquez, a sophomore at Schurz High School, and his mother, Krystal Hethcoat, were shot Tuesday morning inside their Avondale neighborhood home on the 3400 block of North Lawndale around 8:40 a.m.

Andre Vasquez was pronounced dead nearly four hours later at Illinois Masonic Hospital.

The shooting left Hethcoat in serious-to-critical condition.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Vasquez, Hethcoat, and Hethcoat's 14-year-old daughter were leaving for school when one of the children opened the front door and two gunmen rushed inside the house.

The 14-year-old girl managed to escape; Vasquez and Hethcoat did not.

Three suspects, two men and a woman, were subsequently arrested.

When Chicago News Report searched Kethcoat's Facebook page for more clues about her lifestyle, CNR found several photos of young black men throwing up what appears to be gang signs.

Hethcaot is seen in at least one of those questionable photos.

In a display of support, several family members have changed their Facebook profile pics to photos of Hethcoat and her slain son, Andre Vasquez.

Trenton Hearn, who is listed as Hethcoat's brother on Facebook, asked everyone to pray for his critically wounded sister.

"Please lend us your strength and give a small prayer for my sister tonight so that whomever you pray to may hear your blessings and make by big sis ok," said Hearn.

According to a reliable source, the Avondale shooting appears to be tied to drugs and gangs.

  1. Really ugly. The gang and drug culture sure produces some revolting scenes. When something bad happens there's usually a scramble to revise the Facebook contents so as to sanitize it.

  2. How come mom & son don't have the same last name?

    1. Andre has his father's name and I have mine. How this is relevant to the tragedy my family and I were put through is beyond me?

  3. My guess is that she either re-married, divorced or her son just wanted to keep the father's last name.

  4. That's cool. My guess is, mom got knocked up & was never married, but son kept his sperm donor's name, so mom can go after him if he hits the ghetto lottery.

  6. To the Sister - if Andre wasn't in a gang, how do you explain FB pics of him & his pals throwing around gang signs?

    People who aren't in gangs don't do that. And people who aren't in gangs don't get jumped at the front door by masked gunmen, either. And finally, people who aren't in gangs don't give a flying fuck when piece of shit bangers are executed by rival gangs - in fact, we are happy to not only see them go, but also happy to know the shooters finished the job so the "victim" won't continue to be a detriment to society by requiring a lifetime of expensive medical care paid for by the public. Its doubtful the Manics or Cobras have some type of group health plan.

  7. irresponsible news reporting at its worst. scouring for clues on her lifestyle and pilfering the picture off her facebook page does NOT qualify as responsible news reporting. jackass.

  8. All of the media spin and assumptions of gang affiliation aside, it really boils down to a very sad truth--a 16-year-old boy was killed, his mother is fighting for her life, and an entire family will never be the same again. My deepest condolences to the family.

    Seeing this story was a really sobering reminder of how small this world really is. I take the 152 Addison bus to work every day, and from this photo immediately recognized Andre since very, very often was on the same bus as me. Granted, I obviously didn't know him personally in the least bit, but still recognized him as the polite young man who always offered his seat to other passengers and said "Hello" and "Thanks" to the bus driver.

    Like I said, I didn't know him at all, but someone who was able to make that impression on a total stranger must have been an ultimately good person.

    I am the first to place blame where blame is due when it comes to low-lifes but you need the facts before you start pointing fingers.

    Nowhere in the story does it say anything about the young man being gang affiliated nor anything about his facebook page containing images of gang signs. Read the story. What was written above was, "When Chicago News Report searched Kethcoat's Facebook page for more clues about her lifestyle, CNR found several photos of young black men throwing up what appears to be gang signs." (the mother's facebook page)

  11. People can believe what the media reports. When it happens to your family and they report what they ASSUME you wont feel how you do. Both pages are private and you can not really see any pictures and what you can there are no gang signs. They wont tell you Andre was a A and B student with a 4.0 GPA. So you people continue to live in your fairytale world where things like this dont happen to innocent people.

  12. This is reporting at its best...Facebook? Thats where you get your info? And u wonder why you will never have a real job in this city...People want the truth...not your biased opinion. I feel like my IQ dropped a point or two just by reading this "report" ha...

    WENDERELLA!

  13. While I'm no journalist, I don't see the problem with looking at her pictures on the facebook to get an idea of what this woman is like. I mean, what better way to learn about someone than by looking at that person's own advertisements of themselves? For what its worth, I went onto the mother's facebook (it's not private) & looked at her pics, and yeah, they are full of her hanging out with guys throwing out gang signs - and most are in a folder called "Money Muthafukn Mike!"

    Again I don't know these people or even live anywhere close to the neighborhood that this happened in but I am intrigued by this story. If it turns out that mom was involved in gangs or with people in gangs, shame on her - it cost her son his life & could have done the same to her daughter. Hopefully that isn't the case.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh and a follow up to my comment that went up at 12:29, I don't think the race of her friends that she is shown with on facebook matters, but it does matter that they are throwing out gang signs, something that non-gang affiliated people simply don't do (these are grown adult men in the pictures with her, not teens or little kids). So I wouldn't care if those guys are black, white, hispanic, asian, purple, etc., but I would care if they are people who are involved in gangs.

  15. RIP Andre, if your up their reading this nonsense pay no attention to it, the people who care about you and your family no better! It is really sad to see how cruel and inconsiderate people can be, its amazing to me that someone can say such irresponsible things about a grieving family in their time of mourning! Obviously they either don't live in the city or have no children! Imagine this is your family and these things are being said about them, think before you speak people! People need to realize no one is safe and crime can happen anytime anywhere, no matter if your in a gang or into drugs lets be more aware of our surroundings and be better neighbors and maybe little by little our city can be a better place and be safer for all of us! Best wishes to the family our prayers are with you!

  19. Some of u "Anonymous" people are disgusting & have a lot of balls to say the things u say behind a hidden name. This is a crying shame. This woman is fighting for her life & probably doesn't even realize she's lost her first child yet, and all u can do is slander her name & wonder why her son doesn't have the same last name as her?!?!?! And disgrace her name saying she will win the "ghetto lottery" from her sperm donor?!?!?! Fuckin shame on all of you. Crime happens everywhere even Lincoln Park & Evanston you fools. & guess what??? Any person from a broken home no matter what color or side of town will have a different last name from their mother. Its VERY fuckin common these days. My deepest condolences are w the Hethcoat family, as I am a friend of Billy's & many prayers that Krystal has a speedy recovery and can somehow go back to living a normal life. And thank goodness these criminals were caught. I hope they spend the remainder of their pitiful lives in prison full of remorse & regret for the lives they have taken & families they've ruined.

    And whoever this journalist is needs some MUTHAFUCKIN SPELLCHECK! An 8th grader could've written a better story.
    Peace out <- not gang affiliated

  22. OMG!!!! People really need to get a life and stop judging and talking shit about people. If this was any of your family members you sure wouldn't want anyone talking all this crap now would you. At the end of the day a child lost his life and his mother is fighting for hers. If you had any compassion what so ever you wouldn't leave your ignorant comments on here and would not be fishing thru her facebook page trying to figure out who she is. She was a caring, loving person that would stop and even feed a homeless person if she could. So to all you bastards you need to STFU

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm sure she was but she still decided to get involved with the biggest piece of shit on the northside, her man, Why? She had teenage kids, why have a man like that around them? so yeah lets all respect the fact a life was lost and Krystals life will never be the same. Bad choice cost a life and she will have to live with it. Praying for Krystal...

  25. I used to go to school with Krystal. I am so sad for the family. May the young soul of her son rest in eternal peace. God please help the family especially Krystal's little girl during this horrifying time, so they may cope and move forward with their lives. My prayers are with Krystal, I hope to God she pulls through this for the sake of her little girl. My heart breaks for the family.

  26. It's so sad to see how disrespectful people can be. I pray for all of you on this posting who are putting negative thoughts and hate on this page. Lets stop the blame game... a little boy is dead and his mother is fighting for her life. Lets have some consideration through the mourning process. God don't like ugly.

  27. WGN reported that this horrific act was a result of Krystal having a disagreement with her "friend," the getaway driver. What would warrant this retaliation???? What's wrong with people?

  28. Thank you for posting a photo of the deceased boy and his injured mother. It is far too easy to forget that these tragic stories are about real people and not just statistics.

  29. Shame on those of you who are so judgmental without knowing the facts. What it boils down to is that a teenage boy senselessly lost his life and that a young mother is in critical condition. You need to be praying for this family during this horrible tragedy, not judging them.

  30. Praying for her but that doesnt change the fact she made bad choices, you are affected by the people around you, this is a perfect example of that, the real lesson to be learned here....

  31. I don't know if she was a gang banger but in her profile pictures I seen pictures of what seemed a
    few guys throwing up the 4 for the 4 corner hustler while throwing down fork for GD.. If that's the type of people she hung out with than what did she think was going to happen.. If that's the case she is a dummy who got her kid killed.. Your a grown woman with kids act like it... Rip to her son.. who probably had nothing to do with her stupid gang life style

  32. Wgn said t could have been related to a friend that she has had a falling out with.. The girl could have been just plain crazy or who know.. That still dont mean it was gang related... And where has anything about her boyfriend came up? I havent seen it in any reports? How do you know what kind of person he is?

  38. Krystal is my best friend of 21 years. Her son, Andre was my Godson. These are not bad people. Krystal was in college furthering her education. Andre was an A student. No gangs. Krystal is a fantastic mother who would go on field trips with her kids, cook family dinner every Sunday.

    Instead of being hateful how about showing some compassion. A child is dead and his mother is fighting for her life....all because of a senseless act of violence. This had nothing to do with gangs, nothing to do with her boyfriend (whom by the way has raised her children, works & supports their household). Stop pointing fingers, stop creating stories in your heads....please just pray.

    Oh and last I checked, throwing up the peace sign while black is not a crime and does not make you a gangbanger.

  40. I've never posted on one of these things but, today, I was beyond OUTRAGED!
    First, of all, I am a PROFESSIONAL journalist and my publisher would never accept Face book as a source! Professionally speaking, this news article is shameful!
    Second, speaking as a decent human being, I can't believe all of the ignorant people who decided to put their two cents into this discussion. You are all DISGUSTING! How dare you say such mean and hateful things about this family with out even knowing the real story, without knowing the family personally. No matter what the situation was, a boy died, a mother is fight for her life, and a family will never be the same. We should all be sad if not for the family, for our entire society.
    Our children are a reflection of ourselves. I met the daughter who got away while on a camping trip in Wisconsin with my daughter's Girl Scout Troop. She was a very articulate, well mannered, sweet little girl. I have never met Krystal or Andre but, just by meeting her daughter, I could tell that she was AT LEAST a good mother. These are the types of stories that someone should hear before they cast judgment on others, if they must. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!!!
    R.I.P. Andre
    I'm praying for your fast recovery, Krystal.
    For the family: May God Bless you with lots of love, strength, and inner peace at this time and always.

  41. Blah blah blah.. All that matters is you pay respect to the poor boy who lost his life because of the fuckin fat ugly nasty bitch that did it..

  45. The "journalist" made some very valid points. However, a professional journalist should have the ability to catch grammatical errors before posting a comment-- especially if you're calling yourself a " PROFESSIONAL journalist".

    ReplyDelete
  46. Above-
    After everything that I wrote, You left a comment just to say that? Well, I guess a thank you is in order for taking the time to point out any errors that you found. I'm not sure what else you were hoping to get out of that... cute quotation marks ;-) Just a reminder- A child is dead.

    Again, to the family and friends of Andre and Krystal, I am so sorry for your loss. I would also like to say how sorry I feel for all of these hateful and inconsiderate people, because they don't know any better.

    ReplyDelete
  47. @12:16 the "journalist"

    People like you are the problem with "professional journalism" you just want to talk about how sorry you are and how much you want to pray for them. I'm sure there is an audience for that type of horse shit, but there is also a large audience that is tired of hearing that same crap over and over. If people wanted to hear your style of reporting they would go to any of the mainstream media outlets. People come here for an alternative.

    If you truly feel bad for this family, then do something for them. Your prayers are as useless to them as the anonymous comments you make.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Unbelievable how cold-hearted people can be. No matter what the situation was a little boy lost his life in a horrific way. No child/adult/human being deserves to have their life taken away by another, what gives anyone the right?! To have the ability to duct tape a female and two of her children up and then stand there and shoot at them not once but several times, dictates the character of those peoople. No facebook stalking needed to know what kind of people or lifestyle they lived, their heartless actions show that already. Same goes for the female who drove them there, and in saying that, lets not forget that this was all planned out by the "female" not the two men who actually did the "dirty work". Whatever method it was that she used to get them to go do this crime for her, it was for the female (Jennifer). Now my question is, if it was the female who planned all this out and got the two men to go and do this crime, why would it be gang related? Answer me that!? What female is going to have gang related issues as her motive for this crime?

    On another note, didn't any of your mothers teach you, if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. Your words on such a horrific situation say alot about "your" character. I'm sure if your Facebook pages were stalked people would discover some not so great things about your life as well.

    Close your minds for a second and allow your heart to feel something for someone other than yourselves for once. What happened is tragic and no one should ever have to go through it. If you can't be safe in your own home, where can you. Remember that when you get to tuck your children into bed tonight or you get to carry on your day and not be laying in a hospital bed fighting for your life.

    If the sheer thought of what actually happened to the mother and her children doesn't tug at your heart, then you don't have one!

I've read your posts on the other blogs you so cold heartedly commented on and you disgust me more than the gangbangers, molestors and rapists do. They don't know better, but you do!!! Don't pass judgement unless your hands are clean. Try taking a good look in the mirror because it seems to me that you are one angry, bitter person who is heartless and has no life. You think just because you don't belong to a gang that alone makes you a good person? You're PURE EVIL in disguise. Keep fooling yourself into believing you are better than the rest of us. In the end, you're only revealing your true self and worth.

  54. I was just at the fundraiser...a crazy bitch that she was knew and befriended decided to rob her. She had no drugs or money at home. Husband was working and raising her kids and were ten years together. This was a random act of stupidity. Police found no drugs on the scene...nor was this gang related. I personally know her. SO FUCK YOU WHITE PIECE OF SHIT. I would personally love the final confrontation of you yuppie fucks as an "Armageddon" of sorts. You think cuba assume tacos..your culturally impaired. All you fucking transplants should go back to your meth capitals. The kid was an A student and his mom was laid off (she is white) by her greedy fucking company. SO FUCK YOU. They are in jail.

  60. To all of the people who posted on here if you do not have correct information you should keep your ignorant and shameful comments to yourselves! Pay more attention to your own life and your own family business rather than Krystal and her family! Krystal and her boyfriend obviously were and are good parents both of the children attended school and her son may god rest his soul was an honor student. Both Krystal and her boyfriend made sure they had a place to live, food on the table and took care of the kids before anything else. As for the boyfriend everyone seems to be bashing on here he works hard to take care of his family so all of you ASSHOLES need to mind your own business not theirs! It is so wrong that all of you are being so disrespectful at a time like this when all the family is asking for is prayers! Everyone needs to just pray for Krystal to have a full recovery and the strength to get through everything she’s been through, not to slander her name. Just say a prayer for her son Andre who is now in heaven watching over and protecting his mom and sister. All of this negative energy from everyone is terrible one thing you all should remember is Karma’s a BITCH so I hope you ignorant fucks ask for forgiveness sooner than later for all the hurtful things you said about them! God for bid if something so heinous happen to you or your family how would you feel about people who never met you being so disrespectful at a time like this?

    Ask yourself that!

    As for the three stupid fucks who did this I wish we still had the death penalty so Krystal and her family could watch you die slowly and smile for all the pain you caused them but then again that would not be justice enough for what you caused this family. So I hope you all rot in jail and serve a long painful sentence! No matter how many times you ask for forgiveness god will not forgive this heinous crime that all three of you losers committed.

    I pray your souls burn in HELL!!!

  71. Although I am saddened by this tragedy... The female victim did surround herself around the wrong crowd. Fact is, she was beyond a trouble maker. I've witnessed several incidents in which she played a pivotal role. Although I never befriended her, she did use gang symbols and spoke to us very rudely. We opted to leave a party. However, this does not make it right for someone to take the life of another... However, everything we do life will come back to haunt us...

  74. decent people need to protect their true identities from the unemployed and unembloyable useless gangbangers. decent people do not have friends who come to their home to kill their children and steal from them. krystal needs to take lessons on how to lead a good life. at her age and with two children you'd think she might have a clue as to how life should be lived. maybe krystal should invest some of her government money in driver's ed. the next time her house is robbed, they can go after her driver's license instead of her state i.d......what a loser!!!

    ReplyDelete
  75. So, the sister-in-law says people who are writing the truth are "envious" of Krystal. Is she serious?! Envious about bankruptcies and forcible detainers, emnvious that she has a state ID instead of a driver's license, envious of her idiot boyfriend, etc., etc., etc.!!! Anyone who envies any of this might just as well jump in Lake Michigan and hope they don't get rescued. Krystal might be better off in a coma instead of going back to her rather shabby existence.

  79. Wooow... You people you people.. When the sister in law said people being enviuos she was reffering to the murders! Krystal had something the three stooges wanted and all they got out of it was being locked up!!!! hahaha lmao!!! I hope none of them ever get to see their kids again!! To anonymous Nov 22 @4:09 who said anything about backrupcy or forciable detainers? Who says she dont have her license?? And her boyfriend was never brought up in the news... Sooo if you dont know dont speak.. She was out of a coma long before you wrote this.. Krystal and Andre were the victims.. Fuck all of your negitive comments..

    ReplyDelete
  80. Krystal had something the three stooges wanted and all they got out of it was being locked up!!!! hahaha lmao!!!

    If you're a friend of Krystal's, why on earth are you laughing anout the three people who got arrested? Not only is her son dead, but Krystal's "life" (it sounded like a shitty one, but was a life, anyways) is for all intents & purposes, over

    So go ahead & laugh, hahahadoes that mean Krystal won? Krystal, the loser who didn't even have $2k to bury her son, and had to beg for handouts?! Krystal, the loser who is now guaranteed to be a lifetime disability case?!?! What did Krystal have that those people wanted - extra weight?!?!?!

    Yeah, it sure looks to me like Krystal is the winner.

    ReplyDelete
  81. No shes not the winner! Its not a fucking race. But the people who did this didnt get away. Whatever they were looking for they didnt find. You probably dont even know Krystal so really your opinion matter even if you do think what you want. Point is all they got from this master plan was a life behind bars. 90% of the people commenting on here are talking about Krystal and Andre.. Why? Makes no sence they were in their house. Andre was getting ready for school where he went every morning. Krystal was about to get up to also get ready to go to school. Funny how the are at fault for the monsters barging into their home.


    And yes regardless of whats going on with Krystal its still funny to me that they are locked up! They should live the rest of their days in jail! Im glad they wont be able to do shit with their kids! They cant even watch them grow and expierence life with them!

    And BVD guess what you get to do? Yep thats right support them all! Rather then temporarly helping out with unemployment. You with perminatly help with housing costs and food for three! And disability.. So maybe you are the winner!

    You are absolutely correct, due to decades of incompetence and corruption of our politicians, combined with straight theivery by both the black and latino "communities" here of tax dollars, I do get to support them for the rest of their shitty lives. Just like I was already supporting Krystal, who was an admitted welfare case for years. Which means I also supported her two bastard children, so at least I don't have to worry about paying for dope-dealin 'Dre anymore.

    And even though I pay tens of thousands in state income tax to IL each year, not to mention the highest sales taxes & second highest property taxes in the country, at least I work and make a very good living. I own property which I will make money on when I sell it, and have money saved & invested. Which means soon, I'll retire and go back to West Michigan, which has low taxes, no ghetto minorities like Krystal & her peeps who shot her, and I have the right to defend myself. All while Chicago and it's ghettos continue to burn.

    PS - my kid is Andre's age. He's never been in trouble with the law, he never sold weed in school & on the street like Dre did, and he's not dead. Also my wife (aka, the mother of my children, to whom I was married before we had kids, unlike these waste of space breeders) doesn't roll with thugs like Krystal did (and Krystal literally rolls now, in her wheelchair). So if you're keeping score, chalk one up for me.

  83. OK, so here's the story. One fat ugly mom is in a chair for the rest of her life living off the fat (no pun intended) of the land. She probably did wheelies in her chair as she sped to the nearest social security office to apply for her disability handout!! Her son is dead because of her and her daughter doesn't have a chance at any kind of decent living. She'd be better off with DCFS. Her pathetic excuse for a boyfriend/fake husband is out fathering more children and partyng it up at the local tavern listening to losers pretend to sing!!Way to go Krystal...you created the perfect little home for your all unAmerican family. Stay in the ghetto where you belong along with all your ghetto loser friends. You are the perfect example of what NOT to be when you grow up!!!

  84. Wow...they may not have been literally standing on the corner back then but did plenty of standing around doing nothing most of their loser lives. They sure had no problem "standing on the corner" asking for handouts to pay for hospital and funeral costs. How is it that these lowlife people ask others to pay for their mistakes?! Get a job, take out a loan, do something other than booze it up, beg for handouts, and feel sorry for yourself. You got yourself into this mess now you get yourself out. Stay in the gutter where you belong.

  86. There were no drugs or guns in the house!! Andre was on his way out the door to go to school! He didnt do anything to deserve to have the "lowlifes" enter his home and kill him and injure his mom. The family didnt stand on the corner to ask for handouts! Krystal was temporarly on unemployment. Not pay for her perminat disability check! While your at it send some money to the 3 "lowlifes" who didnt do anything wrong. Perminatly pay to feed and bathe the "lowlifes" that will rot with you paying their bills. I will gladly stay in the gutter in this life for the rest of it because when its over I dont want to go to the same place you will be going!

  87. You should probably go back to get a GED and learn how to spell before you enter a comment for the educated public to read. The mom was the reason this home invasion occurred. She hung out with lowlifes, was friendly with gangs, loved to flash gang signs and is definitely not the epitome of a "good" mother! Of course, no one deserved to be injured and yes the people who did it are lowlifes. But Krystal was friends with the girl. What does that make her??? She put her family in jeopardy by asssociation. Shame on her! And yes the family is asking for handouts. They seem to be professional takers. And no one is paying the bills for the accused but Krystal is asking that people pay her bills. Prisoners get their basic needs met and that's it. Krystal, on the other hand, is using her disability money for what?? This is the best career she ever dreamed of...disabled and getting paid for it. She hit the jackpot!!

  88. Okay losers....how are the Sunday night dinners going? Are there enough food stamps to go around for you fatties? And are the kids still content to be shuffled off in the corner watching you all get drunk? I never remember a "family" dinner being that way in my neighborhood! But I suppose thugs and losers do things differently. And your children...omg!! Where in the world is DCFS when they're really needed. Don't breed 'em if you can't feed 'em! Try getting a real job, stop "taking" from all of us and take care of yourselves and your children. I suppose the one year anniversary of this crime will mark a resurgence of this loser family begging for more $$$$. Maybe there'll be a cost of living increase for disabiity takers and you can all celebrate with some oreo double stuff. Go on, splurge!

  89. wow, im hethcoats cousin, & i can tell u that this is all real disrespectful. My little cousin was layed to rest a few days over a yr ago, and you guys are sitting here posting things that do not matter. You're all pathetic. What reason could you possibly have to talk badly about a 15 yr old child who was murdered? It doesn't matter what he did or didn't do, he was a child. Also, who are any of you to judge them? Leave them alone. What are you gaining by trying to drag his name through the mud? And p.s, the pics u see of him "throwing gangs signs", hes actually holding up the "westside" symbol, not a gang sign. He was 15 and did what he did, doesn't change the tragidy that occurred. You should be ashamed of youselves.

  90. double wow cuz!! a 15 year old child who was arrested for armed robbery and the one who had the gun!?!?!? since when do "children" get arrested for armed robbery??? he did not deserve to be murdered but he was on the fast track to no where. an armed robber at 15...something for mom to be real proud of!!
    his pathetic loser mom and her double loser boyfriend are not the role models that impressionable children need in order to grow into responsible citizens. if the mom hadn't been hanging out in the loser lane of life her children would have been protected. she chose to be a party girl living on government money and look where it got her. she was friends at one time with the driver of the getaway car. what did she expect, hanging out with rejects?? was she waiting for an invitation to the white house? and get this straight, cuz...the pathetic ones are the peeps in your family. government assistance, forcible detainers, bankruptcies, arrests. maybe in your world those are things to be proud and this family rises to the top for handouts. kryssie needs to get a life, get rid of that ridiculous thing she calls her BF and try to start over, although it's probably too late for her.

  91. hi cousin...you're right, your cousin did not deserve to be murdered. but he was slinging a gun in a robbery not too long before he was killed. was he not out to hurt someone and take things that didn't belong to him? it's hard to show much sympathy for a thug who has no regard for the rules of life no matter how old that thug is. if he was such a "child" as you say, what was he doing with a loaded gun? or is that just the normal way for those people to live? a loaded gun in the hands of a 15 year old can have tragic results. sorry cousin, but your relatives are trash. and as far as their name being dragged through the mud, they did that to themselves. where was the mother when her kid was out and about with a loaded gun??? too busy with her "man"...her common law "man" who makes babies with other women?!?

Ooops...lost my head for a second. these folks don't have checking accounts...cold hard cash will have to do!! Can't pay the rent this month or maybe the mom needs a new purse or perhaps she wants to buy a "Gang Signs for Dummies" book. Or the live-in can't keep up with his child support???

  94. Krystal and I have bumped heads a few times in the past. Sorry for her troubles but she was the reason it happened, no disrespect intended. Although, how can anyone have respect for them. The kid had no respect when he went out with a loaded gun to take something that didn't belong to him. So, what goes around comes around. The online invite to the birthday party is something that I completely would expect from this family. Thugs, losers and lowlifes!

  95. Thugs, loser and lowlifes? How dare you talk smack about my people, my family. Do you even know anything about them? Just because they are unfortunate and pathetic doesn't necessarily mean they're losers. Take Krystal's boyfriend, for example. He's a total nothing, works at McDonalds, makes a buck, fathers illegitimate children. What's the problem? Krystal has taken from all of us most of her life. When you live in the hood, what's wrong with that, it's a career! She's a career girl!! Just because you file for bankruptcy, get kicked out of apartments because you don't pay the rent, etc. etc. what's the prob? That's the hood way of life!! Live a life that caused your child to be killed and not take the blame? Right cuz in the hood the rules are different. Play the victim role is the hood way of doing things, beg for money to get out of trouble that you blame everyone else for...no prob in the hood! This is a life they're loving and we're all paying for it!

  98. There was an invite sent on facebook to release balloons for Dre. So there for you people who are so perfect must be friends with these "lowlifes" on facebook. I wouldn't think that people as perfect as yourselves would even associate with people as "terrible" as them. Not one of you commented on the invite to say how you felt. Why lol cause there's no anonymous button on facebook? Some of the same people commenting here also talk to Krystal and smile in her face.

  99. Hey Anonymous....loaded gun proof??? Check with the police on that one!! They could easily verify except that the "child? with the loaded gun was just that...under age and a minor and so his records aren't made public...must protect that "minor" with the loaded gun!!! Just ask Krystie how upset she was when that happened...she can verify!! Not saying anything about being perfect but getting a glimpse into the alternative lowlife loser life of these morons is fascinating...beyond belief how people can mess up their lives!!! Just take a look, for example, at the FB pic of Krystie's "husband" a/k/a live-in loser...just what mama wants brought home to her!!!! Mama would be sosososo proud of that one it might send her into a diabetic coma or cardiac arrest!!!!

  100. Hey Anonymous....All you people know how to do is live off the government and swear. How much can you love and respect our dear Dre when you use such vile language in the same sentence as you say his name?!?!? Ask Krystal what happened with her son and the armed robbery and how upset she was...she can tell you. What makes you think there was no bond anyway? I bet I know...it's because none of you losers would be able to raise the bond money even if you all pitched in for it (or asked other people for it)!!!!! Maybe you should take a course in public speaking/writing. Does it make you feel all cool to be able to say the "f" word a thousand times?? Or is it because of your obviously limited vocabulary that you're not all that knowledgeable when it comes to the English language and adjectives???? Stay in the gutter with your LINK card!!!

  101. So @ Oct 7 2012 7:39 pm. Is your life really that boring that u need to steady worry about what Sunday dinners are like. The kids are very well taken care of. No food stamps needed at all. You should buy yourself some double stuffed Oreos and shove them right up your ass.

  102. So very sorry December 25, 2012. No worries about your Sunday loserfests. I happen to be a teacher and was told by one of the Sunday night dinner kids exactly what is happening over there. You should all be ashamed. How do you do this to children? They're all going to be following in your very sad footsteps on a road to nowhere. And then you'll all blame the schools and teachers when you're bonding them out of jail. My mistake about the food stamps. It's called a LINK card, isn't it. From the looks of it, seems like you've passed over the double stuff and have been hanging out in the Krispy Kreme aisle.

    January 8 The so called teacher. So if there is something so wrong with what's going on arent you obligated to report it some where. How could you and the rest of your peers to treat the children the way you did. Going on strike what did that teach the children. Teachers never made shit when it came to money so why complain now. Being a teacher you should have learned if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

  104. January 17.....From the content of your blog, you don't have much experience with the education system. Perhaps a GED dropout? A pillar of the community you for sure are not! Your ignorant comment about striking is something to be expected from someone with no knowledge of labor unions. You apparently are not up on current events either, it wasn't about the pay! And it's just like you people always blaming everyone when your offspring turn out the same way you all do and end up on the government dole in between jail stints. Blog on...your ignorance is a source of comic relief for the rest of us.Teachers may not make millions but the pay is way more than you can ever dream of not to mention the respect earned and ability it takes to make it through college and grad school.

  105. There are teachers who are on welfare section 8. The pay is not more then I could ever dream of but your college debt is. The average starting pay in Illinois is 42K school janitors are not far behind that. Garbage men, postal workers, police all make good money and don't need grad school. So I can be whatever you want me to be I don't care what you think. You have so much going on in your wonderful life as a teacher that you have nothing better to do then keep looking up a blog that should have nothing to do with you.

Maybe if you're wishing for his soul to rest with God in heaven in peace you should speak in a way that God would want to listen. Your low class, uneducated rhetoric shows the kind of person your dead brother must have been if he associated with people like you. Grow up, try a stab at an education, learn to speak properly, lose the anger, get a job, be a productive member of society instead of playing the victim and maybe you'll have a chance at a decent life.
