On Saturday, just one day after the boys were shot and killed in front of their high school in the downtown area, it seemed as though everything was going according to ordinary. After the murders of Monterio Williams, 17, and Robert Boston, 16, several of the windows that were riddled with gunshot holes have been boarded up. Additionally, many of the glass have been shot through.
As well as their families, the guys were known to each other, according to their friends. An activist in the community named Andrew Holmes revealed that the mothers of the boys are heartbroken at their loss. “We had a conversation.
She is a woman who loves to pray a lot. “She has faith in the administration of justice, and she is confident that the Chicago Police Department will find a solution to this case,” Holmes stated.
Both teenagers were reportedly shot and killed on Friday afternoon near the intersection of Wabash and Washington streets as they were leaving school with a group of friends, according to the investigators.
The adolescents were students at Innovations High School, which is a charter school affiliated with the Chicago Public Schools. The school is an alternative school that serves 450 students who are struggling academically and have other difficulties.
At that moment, witnesses reported seeing a dark-colored sedan and a dark-colored SUV pull up, and then masked gunmen exited the vehicles and began firing their weapons. According to the authorities, at least two of the perpetrators of the attack fled the scene, while others managed to escape in the vehicles.
