A 16-year-old shot by a police officer during a foot chase on the South Side
Sunday night has died.
Ricky Childs, of the 7900 block of South Ingleside Avenue, was pronounced
dead at 9:51 p.m. Monday at the John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County.
The foot chase began shortly after 11:15 p.m. Sunday night.
Police had been alerted to a robbery near the 8200 block of Drexel Avenue in the
East Chatham neighborhood, and Childs matched a preliminary description of the
suspect.
When officers approached Childs, he ran away, and two officers gave
chase.
During the pursuit, Childs fired a gun at an officer pursuing him on foot.
After missing, Childs pointed the gun again in the officer's direction, and
the officer fired his weapon, striking Childs in the head.
Authorities said police recovered a gun at the scene.

Finally a good job PD .One less gun carrying criminal .If he shot at the cops .Imagine what else he's done at age 16.The only way to save your kids .Is to get them out the Chicago public school system.It makes such a difference compared to the schools in Dupage county.You might pay alittle more rent but its like sending your kids to a private school.Sure We might some gangs but when was the last time you heard of a gang murder in Dupage county.Dupage county don't play games.They'll put you away for life.
thats wat his dumb ass gets
There was a gang related drive by in willowbrook where a teenager was killed a couple months ago.... There goes that theory.....
Chicago.......
What a crazy town.

So For All of you sayin thats what he get how yall think his FAMILY Feel . Havin To Bury A Loved One .. Thats Shit hurt .... BAD ! ND They Wonder Why All These Cops Constantly Gettin Killed .. Cause Their Crooked . Tears R.I.P Ricky I LOVE YOU BRO <3
In Chicago, you can't believe anything unless you see it...often hard to tell who the good guys and bad guys are...I know it sounds crazy, but being nieve in a town like ours, is even crazier...God is watching...nothing goes unpaid
Yes gods watching I agree 100 percent but why did he run you just dont do that so that 16 was guilty of something
Maybe your brother should've not been out there at 11 at night on a Sunday! Or is he a drop out? That he should've been in bed already.
He was tryin to get away .but at the end of the day that officer felt like his life was in danger its either kill or b killed..am quite sure that police kuy has a family he wants to get home to at night but its traggic that 16 didnt get a chance to make it home to his family a very bad ending but it was followed by his actions
Noo He's Not A Drop Out . He Attended Sullivan House Where He Did All His Work . We Come EVERYDAY ON TIME . I Promise Yall He Was A Good Kid Never Arrested Anything . Tears This Hurts And For People To Say Mean Stuff Yall Dnt know How Our Family And Friends Feel . Think before You Speak ! Yours Could Be Next!
My condolences Bro,and your family.That's some fucked up shit.Hope you guys sue the city if thats the case.
But a death sentence for running.I don't care if they thought he killed someone.Guilty till proven guilty.The cop who shot him ain't no judge or jury.Chicago Police have a long history of numerous dirty cops.Cops that work with the drug dealers and gangs.No one deserves to die like that.That's I'm saying.
It sounds like he was into sum things his family didnt no about u cnt walk ur teenage kid threw life its there choices to go the path there goin to go but so sorry for you and ur family loss my prayers are with you and just remember he is in a better place
Im A Girl .. But Thank You Soo Much . Really Appreciate It !!
Have anybody ever been stopped in Chicago for a "field interview" and the officer asks you "can you get me a gun?"
It is a shame that the chgo cops are so dirty,corrupt, shady, crooked.They say when you need a friend call a cop. Not in chicago ill.I was visiting Chgo ill and was lost around Kedzie and Roosvelt Road. The neighborhood looked a little rough, so i called 911 to get me out of there,,, and after fihting with the 911 operator,,,finally after 3 hours of waiting for a cop. A cop finally came and asked me what was the matter,,, i told him i was lost,,, he said bye amap and left. Finally a black man said i will help ypu out of the hood,,, it is getting dark. You do not belong here.You will get killed and the cops do not care. Long story short a gang member helped me out of the hood and once i was out i asked myself.If you need a friend call a gang member.If you are a civilian,,, they are very nice to you,,,as for the chgo cops. Draw your own conclusion.chgo police are scumbags
my grandfather and father were born in chicago and both told the same stories of police corruption drug dealing and bigotry my father allways maintained he and grandad never met a cop in chicago who they could not buy they were both lawyers so you have to make your own judgement
I'm currently fighting some trumped up charges by a Chicago police detective (female) who has a bigger d**k than the males in her very same unit. I've been in Chicago all my life and these cops are by far the dirtiest I've seen in my life.
I own Gotham City! Why so serios? Law abiding cops, mayor, lawyers, judges? They're my puppets! Mwahahaaa
this ghetto chic charged a my neighbors dog who was on a leash with a crobar and hit on the head. CPD shows up and says she could protect herself because a leashed dog held by an owner is a weapom
Thanks to the drug war, WE HAVE NO REAL POLICE. What we have in every city is occupiers and patrollers, who is no different than the National Guard.
October 30, 2012 4:30 PM and October 30, 2012 7:17 PM are stupid!

I like little piggys,why do you want them to die.
Ya I love bacon.What's up with that.Love pig feet and Pork skins with hot sauce.Mmmm! Don't mess with my porkchops.
Plain and simple f**k the police, people think the police are angles, you people who call 911 every chance you get. trying hanging out in the hood. Just chill, I bet you end up in the back seat for no reason. Chicago Police is dirty ass hell. I dont wish death on anyone, but I see why they get shot or shot at all the time. Killed that young man. And I heard from the inside he did not have a gun. Don't get me wrong there are so GOOD cops out there. But they are very limited. So sad but they are going ather Black Amerca. And as black amerca some of us are OC, thats true. But that give the police to take the law in they own hands and kill our future and lie about it. Im like Ice T, and NWA, "f**k Da Police" stop eating dunuts and hanging out in people houses like the cops out south,west and east side. pussies
Shut up u crack selling monkey. Ur next
F u and ur dead brother one less gang banger out there. Good job cod
