Remembering Ben Wilson

We, at the Chatham Avalon Park Community Council, will like to all of our viewers, readers, residents and members to take a moment of your day to take time to reflect and remember one of our greatest talents of all time to come out of Chatham, Ben Wilson, the number one in the nation high school basketball player from Simeon Academy who was taken from us by violence 25 years ago this week. Our prayers then as today remain with his family. He was known to many of us as "Benjy" who grew up on the 7700 block of Eberhart. RIP, Benjy!

Well, How About It?

Man Shot, Killed in Chatham

A man was shot and killed outside a store, Hollywood Food, Tuesday morning in Chatham, police said. Officers responded about 10 a.m. to a call of a person shot near 79Th and St. Lawrence Avenue, said Chicago Police Officer John Mirabelli. The man was identified as Bobby Shine, 24, according to a spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. Shine was reportedly a gang-banger, a member of the Gangster-Disciples street gang. Condolences go out to the Shine family for this tragic loss of their son.
