CHICAGO (CBS) — One day after a 7-year-old girl was gunned down as her mother watched while she sold lemonade in front of her West Side home, a ministers’ group is trying to persuade people to turn over the killer.
“It’s a sad day in Chicago,” said the Rev. Ira Acree of the Leaders Network ministry, which put up the $3,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman who killed Heaven Sutton, 7, while she was with her mother and other family members outside of t...
Acree was no less indignant than Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who said to the unknown killer Thursday, “How dare you?”
“She’s an innocent seven-year-old,” Acree said, saying the girl had to try to dodge bullets as if she were in Afghanistan or the Wild West of the 1800s. “It’s horrific.”
Acree said the shooting had struck a nerve, and he said he hopes that someone who knows comes forward with the information without being prompted by the cash.
“You never know what kind of baggage might be associated with other cases, but come on. What can a 7-year-old baby be doing?” he said.

A 7-year-old girl has become the latest symbol of surging violence in the Windy City.
Heaven Sutton died Wednesday after being struck in the back by a stray bullet as she reportedly raced for cover from a stand where she was selling candy in front of her Chicago home.
Sutton was the fourth person killed in her neighborhood on the city's west side this week and the 20th person under age 17 killed by gunfire in Chicago this year, the Chicago Tribune reported. Overall, the city has had more than 250 homicides this year, a nearly 40 percent rise since 2011.
government wants every city to be just like Chicago..
my God this is so sad.. that poor mother my heart breaks for her
Chicago, San Francisco, Detroit and LA have got to be the gutters of humanity.
Definitely no accident the way it sounds ! The people who know and watched and aren't saying anything need to talk and get protection IMNSHOOC
From other videos I've seen of Chicago pigs in action....I wouldn't be surprised if a police sniper was involved.
