Raw Story reports: The Chicago Tribune reported
that Michael Cattron was watching cartoons on Saturday night with several
younger relatives when his 46-year-old father stepped outside to smoke a
cigarette.
“He
heard a popping sound, a boom. One boom,” grandfather Pierre Curry explained.
“He came inside and saw him lying in front of the TV.”
“It
just tore me up,” Curry added. “I kissed him and told him I loved him, but the
way he looked, I couldn’t take it.”
Details
of the shooting were not immediately clear.
Grandmother
Latonia Mardis told WLS that “Michael went into a room, went through some
boxes, found a gun and shot himself in the head. Now he’s dead,”
Other
reports suggested that the boy had been shot in the head by his young cousin.
In
July, Curry’s mother, Jasmine, also died when she was mistakenly shot to death
while driving on the Dan Ryan Expressway. She was pregnant at the time. Her
17-year-old son, Pierce Leroy Curry, was killed by gunfire in August of last
year. Another 20-year-old son had died naturally from an illness in October.
