14 year old Grandson of US Reps member shot dead.


The grandson of U.S. Rep. Danny Davis died after he was shot Friday evening in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, a spokesperson for the congressman told NBC 5.

About 6:45 p.m., the boy, 14, was inside his home in the 5600 block of South Princeton when a group of males forced their way inside, police said. During a dispute that followed, possibly over gym shoes, one of the males pulled out a gun and shot the teen in the head, police said.

"We have very good leads on suspects and we'll be following those throughout the night," Anthony Guglielmi, department spokesman, said in an email.

Ira Cohen, director of issues and communications for Davis, said in a phone call that the congressman had not yet issued a statement but confirmed that that the victim was Davis' grandson.
