I'm so upset that I've never heard this boy's name until now. This happened last year and is literally one of the worst and CRUEL stories I have ever heard of.
Tyshawn Lee, 9, killed in 'murderous rage' by gang members bent on revenge, prosecutor says
(CNN)On a warm and sunny afternoon in November 2015, 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee was still in his school uniform when he told his grandmother he loved her and raced across the street to a Chicago park with his basketball.
Two of three men accused of killing the fourth-grader in a case that shocked the city were waiting for him, prosecutor Margaret Hillmann said during opening statements in their trial on Tuesday. They were armed and ready to lure the boy to his death in what Hillmann said was a revenge killing meant to settle a gang feud.
The defendants, Dwright Doty and Corey Morgan, are being tried together but before separate juries.
The getaway driver, Kevin Edwards, pleaded guilty this month in exchange for a 25-year sentence, CNN affiliate WLS-TV reported. In August, Morgan's brother, Anthony, was sentenced to four years in prison for buying the gun used to kill Tyshawn.
