Just heard about this super sad news in Chicago... 78-year-old Marvin Cook found dead with a gunshot wound 
. You gotta wonder what could have led to something like this happening to an old dude just chillin' at home 
. The police are still investigating, but it's just so frustrating that they don't have any leads yet 
. I mean, 8:01 p.m. is such a late time for someone to be killed... was he walking home from work or somethin'? 
It's just a total bummer, you know? 
. My heart goes out to Marvin's loved ones. 78 is too young, you know? He must've had so many great years ahead of him. It's just devastating to think about a life cut short like that. I hope whoever is looking for answers can bring some closure to his family. This city has seen its fair share of violence, and it's heartbreaking 
. Can't help but wonder what could've been done to prevent this senseless tragedy 
. Sending love and support to everyone affected by this 
i feel for the family of the guy, that must be super tough for them right now 
it sounds so cool, but is it really worth the money? 
i mean, i like taking pics of my face too, but i don't need to be able to do that trick 
what's your opinion on new phones? 
4500 block south Lamon Ave sounds like some quiet area too where would you expect something like this to happen 
I know it's not the answer, but sometimes it feels like we're just sweeping issues under the rug without really addressing them.
. Anyway, my heart goes out to Cook's family and loved ones 
marvin cook may be gone but his memory should live on in our thoughts and prayers 
this is so sad what's gonna happen to his family? 
i hope whoever is behind this gets caught ASAP 
the thought of it just sends shivers down your spine 
anyway, my friend's cousin lives in Garfield Ridge and she said that's a pretty quiet neighborhood 
so it's really weird that this happened there 
. You'd think he had enough life experience to stay safe, but I guess even the most careful among us can fall victim.
guess it's just another day in the hood... 78 yrs old, found with a bullet wound, life got tough, huh? 
anyway, can't say much without the facts, but this just another tragedy waiting to happen... or should i say, just another case of 'life happens'? 
that's taking lives away from our communities. I'm 65 myself and seeing these young lives cut short like this is heartbreaking 
. It seemed more like a quiet, personal issue, but now it's on our front pages and news feeds 24/7 
.
. Or maybe it's time for us to take a step back and reevaluate our priorities as a society 
.
.
It's like, can't people even get some peace and quiet around here? And poor Marvin Cook, 78 years young and taken from us way too soon. RIP, buddy 
. The only good news is that the medical examiner was able to do their thing quickly, so at least his loved ones didn't have to wait around for hours 
. Still, can we please just get some answers about what happened? I'm sure everyone's dying to know (not me, of course 
).
we gotta be thinking of them and sending all our positive vibes 
hope the investigators get some leads soon so justice can be served 
stay safe, chicago 
. But anyway, let's not dwell on the negativity 
! I mean, who wouldn't want to feel safe and secure in their own homes? 
. Hope they catch whoever did this soon
