A vigil was held Wednesday night to honor the memory of a 35-year-old woman was struck and killed in a hit-and-run crash, just one of several violent crimes that have left three women dead in recent days.
“We’re here because we want justice for an angel,” her sister Theresa Dorsey said. “We want the people who did this to come forward.”“That’s my daughter, my oldest daughter, and she’s gonna be truly missed,” Theresa Jefferson said.
Thomas’ death was one of several tragic incidents that have taken place in the Chicago area in recent days. Early Friday morning, hairstylist Tamiko Talbert was driving and looking for a parking spot in the 7100 block of South Artesian when a dark-colored SUV pulled up alongside her vehicle, and a person in the back of the vehicle fired shots, striking her in the head.Derick Patrick, who was pregnant with her second child, was sitting in her car on Jan.
“Cook County saw over 1,000 homicides last year, and 23% of those were women,” she said. “That’s double the previous year. The daily shootings and homicides cannot be the new normal. This has to stop.” Preckwinkle says that the council’s aim is to reverse long-standing disinvestment in the most violent neighborhoods in the county, with the hopes of reversing those recent upward trends in crime.
