8 families of Chicago violence victims gathered Tuesday at the Thompson Center in the Loop to call for calm days after an 8-year-old girl's death.
Police said they have strong leads in their investigation into the murder of Melissa Ortega, but her grieving mother can't stop talking about how special her daughter was.
"The information we have is very delicate. We do have people cooperating, and we have very strong leads," Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said during a press conference. While Ortega's family was not in the group with state Rep. Ford at the Thompson Center Tuesday morning, eight other families were, many dealing with the loss of children.He said he will push for peace and calm in the city., who was fatally shot last year in a McDonald's drive-thru in Chicago.
Some are also asking for resources to help them move out of the area where their loved one was killed."It's still hard every day. We don't even have the resources, don't know how to be strong for sister, for kids, niece, nephew," she said.
