Not even the life of a black congressman’s grandson matters in the city of Chicago.

Homicide Watch Chicago reports:

Jovan Wilson, the teenage grandson of U.S. Rep. Danny Davis, was shot to death over what police called an argument over sneakers in his Englewood home Friday evening. The shooting happened about 6:45 p.m. in the 5600 block of South Princeton, according to Chicago Police.

David’s office confirmed the death.

According to a statement from Davis, 15-year-old Wilson was home “when two people broke in, started arguing with the boy and then shot him in the head.”

Davis IDed the assailants as a 17-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy.

“I grieve for my family,” Davis said. “I grieve for the young man who pulled the trigger. I grieve for his family, his parents, his friends, some of whom will never see him again.”

He added, “What could have prevented this tragedy? Better education, more supervision after school activity. Better parenting.”

“There was a history between the young people involved and it was a dispute over gym shoes. This was not random but was egregious and senseless to use a gun over a fight for clothes,”  says Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, according to the Chicago Tribune.

“It underscores that there’s no repercussions for using guns in Chicago and our criminal justice system is not an effective deterrent.”
