Community mourns young brothers who died in West Humboldt Park house fire: ‘They were happy, beautiful little kids’
Mourners gather for a vigil outside Children's Garden of Hope at Karlov and Potomac avenues in Chicago on June 29, 2022, in memory of children who died nearby in an apartment fire days earlier.
The vigil was held at the Children’s Garden of Hope, near the scene of the blaze, where the three youngest boys often played. Day care teachers and staffers who cared for the children hugged one another and cried as they placed flowers around one white cross leaning against a tree. Behind the tree, three other white crosses leaned against a fence, where community members wrote on them in marker mostly in Spanish, “Descansa en Paz” or “Rest in Peace” among other notes with the boys’ names, Axel, Aiden, Jayden and Angel.
Walker asked how he could get in to save them and she said: “You can’t get in, you can’t get in,’” Walker said. Candles and stuffed animals are seen outside Children's Garden of Hope at Karlov and Potomac avenues in Chicago on June 29, 2022. City Department of Buildings spokesperson Michael Puccinelli said that both Chicago building code and the international building code both allow for one exit depending on the size of the apartment.
