“You ain’t [expletive],” Elston Stevenson, 57, said before he fired a single bullet, according to the Justice Department (DOJ). “You got what you deserved.”
It happened at the Evergreen Cemetery in Evergreen Park on Nov. 22, 2017, authorities said. Stevenson fled the funeral, waving his gun at the mourners as he ran. Police arrested him near the cemetery gate.
WHAT IS BEHIND THE VIOLENT SHOOTINGS IN CHICAGO?
“When a felon brings a loaded gun to a populated area and uses the gun to threaten and endanger strangers, this conduct will not be tolerated,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Cornelius Vandenberg argued in the government’s sentencing memorandum.
Meanwhile, 254 people who were alive when they were shot have died so far this year in Chicago. Wonder how many arrests have been made in those cases? But by golly, they nabbed the dude who shot the dead guy in his grave and threw the book at him. It would be funny if it weren't so tragic.
