Paul worked at Walgreens at 87th & Stony Island where I shop all the time. His death was a great shock to me. He was killed just down the street from where I live. This Sunday July 25, 2010 at 1 pm at Southlawn United Methodist church at 8605 South Cregier, the Calumet Heights Community Coalition is planning its 3rd Annual Community Festival. I pray that as a community we can express our sympathy to the family and continue to develop proactive and positive strategies to stop the killing of our young people!
