Delisa Tucker Shot dead Same Spot Where Son Kevin Tinker Jr. Was Also Shot

Tucker, a 31-year-old mother of six, was shot in the chest early Wednesday morning on the 200 block of West 110th Place, off Wentworth Avenue. She was visiting the spot where her son, Kevin Tinker Jr., was killed Sunday afternoon.
The 14-year-old was shot multiple times.
“He didn’t deserve it,” said family friend Amber Lee. “He was a kid!”
Tinker’s father, Kevin Tinker Sr., said his son was walking home from a friend’s house when he was shot.
“Some violence found him,” said Tinker Sr. “He was a good kid. He didn’t gang bang. Played basketball. Played on his phone a lot. He liked to play games. He was not a gangbanger at all. He stayed in the house most of the time, with his little brothers and sisters.”
