Major Case Squad called in to investigate death of young man in East St. Louis
EAST ST. LOUIS — Homicide detectives are trying to identify a young man whose body was found in East St. Louis on Tuesday night.
The victim is a black male, 17 to 20 years old who was wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt and red-and-white athletic shoes. His hair was in a mohawk-style. He had tattoos on his right and left forearm and a scar on his right forearm.
I’ve noticed lately, i.e. in the past six months, that mohawks are suddenly the in thing among young black men. They must not realize that the 1980s are over.
I have two theories on why he was killed — Either the crips saw his shoes, or the bloods saw his jeans.
