From the initial part of a murder investigation it seemed yet another tragic random shooting of practically a baby on the south side yesterday, this morning now looks to have been a murder attempt directed at a city council candidate gone awry instead claiming they young son of the candidate if you ask me.
Son of candidate slain in East Chicago
Chicago Tribune: "A 7-year-old boy identified as the son of a candidate in today's city council primary election in East Chicago, Ind., was fatally shot Monday. But the circumstances of his death remain unclear this morning.
Authorities were investigating the death of Angel Silvas, of the 4300 block of Magoun Avenue, as a homicide. The boy suffered a bullet wound to his head, according to the Lake County coroner's office. He was pronounced dead at 6:44 p.m. Monday at St. Catherine Hospital in East Chicago."
Family members told the Times of Northwest Indiana the boy was sitting in a car with his father when the boy was shot about 4:30 p.m. near 144th Street and Tod Avenue in East Chicago.
East Chicago police, who were handling the investigation, could not confirm this information or provide details about the slaying this morning.
Relatives reached by telephone this morning said Angel was the son of Michael Silvas Jr., 24, a Democrat running in today's election for the city's District 1 council seat. read more
