Javier Gioia’s life was to be successful and easy. Joy graduated from one of the most prestigious high schools in Chicago, Whitney Young, and spent a year playing for her football team. He enrolled in Morehouse College in Atlanta and was thinking about a career in politics.
The guy is back in Chicago before graduating from College to realize a dream: learn to help children with special needs. 23-the summer young man worked with students, taught them math and science.
Joey parked the car in the 6200 block of South Ingleside Avenue, on the block farther from the campus of the University of Chicago on Thursday evening and called my girlfriend. That was the last that the family knew.

The mother and grandmother believe that he was killed to pick up the cell phone.
Grandmother of Joey, Cutri Baker, said: «He was supposed to help me plant flowers. He was always a good boy. And smart. Always take care of everyone. And it killed the phone. Seriously, because of the phone? It’s just ridiculous. There was no need for it. 50 feet from the University. In this district so many children and toddlers. We should not live like animals. He had to return home. No son should die in that battle field, Chicago.»
