A vocal activist who has called for an end to gun violence in Chicago ended up becoming a victim of that violence more than a week ago.
Jermaine Kelly was shot just after 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 8 near 74th Street and Vincennes. Kelly was heading to his trade school with two fellow students when he heard the gunshots.
"I actually didn't hear the first one, and then my window bust," he said.
Initially, Kelly didn't realize that he had been hit. His friends ran over right away to help.
