In the latest in a series of retaliatory shootings amid a South Side gang war, the father of Tyshawn Lee has been charged with shooting the girlfriend of one of the men in custody for the killing of his 9-year-old son, authorities said Sunday.
A spokeswoman for the Cook County state's attorney's office confirmed that Pierre Stokes, 25, was charged with three counts of aggravated battery with a firearm and one count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon for shooting a woman and two men at 5:45 Tuesday in the 7900 block of South Ashland Avenue.
Law enforcement sources identified the woman as the girlfriend of Corey Morgan, who is in custody awaiting trial in connection with Tyshawn's killing. About three weeks before Tyshawn was lured from a Dawes Park play lot and executed, Morgan's brother was killed and mother wounded as part of a long-running gang feud, police have said.
In the latest shooting, Morgan's girlfriend suffered a graze wound, while the two men were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn with non-life-threatening injuries.

all the shooting stats really circle around a set of people....exclude all of them, and the crime stats in America would be very low...
It seems that Stokes lacks basic competence in most areas of his life.
Trump’s harsh rhetoric to blame again < /S >
Stupid ferals doing what stupid ferals do...
God bless the innocents!
Looks like he fathered a kid when he was about 15,
so there’s that...
Give the Hutu blue machetes and the Tutsi red machetes and we’ll figure out the winner by machetes on the ground.
This is the thug lifestyle that has been promoted by the Rat Party for the past 50 years.
—yeah—the Crips and the Bloods got into a turf war in Vegas some years ago—it was obvious that the next “shooting” was part of the solution to the last one—
Who thinks Corey Morgan gives a crap enough about this "girlfriend" to make the load that Stokes just brought on himself worth it? Not me. Stokes is a dangerous moron.
Wow, does Trump have to mentioned in every thread? What are you guys gonna bitch about once he’s elected, or are we gonna see four years of people here acting like liberals, all angry all the time?
Anyone know if there’s been any break in the case of that backyard barbecue shooting earlier this weekend?
Oh yes, we're cultists. I'm sporting a toupee right now as I'm typing.
I wonder if this could be related?

Well, there's that fact.
But the biggest problem EVER is what the effects of white privilege had to cause this.
I know, because liberals tell me so.
They tell me to ignore facts.
Who’s on first? Impossible to read or understand.
What? He was 25 and had a 9-year-old son
sho-nuff
