There was some relief when Katrina Percy heard police had arrested three suspects in the killing of her 15-year-old son last week. Then she heard their ages: 14, 15 and 16.
Her son, Kimon Wheeler, had been hanging out with two cousins and five others outside a convenience store in the 4100 block of West Cullerton Street just before 11 p.m Wednesday when he was killed.
On the day he was killed, Percy said she texted him to ask if he wanted to be picked up. He didn't respond.
"He was an all-around good 15-year-old boy," Percy said.
Kimon had attended Proviso East High School in Maywood and lived there with his grandmother.
All three suspects have been charged as adults with murder and attempted armed robbery.

that’s what happened to that unsuspecting white australian baseball player out for an afternoon run. a couple of sons of obama saw him, pulled up behind him in a car, blew him away, and then drove off as if nothing happened.
Obviously the confederate flag is responsible for this killing.
And white privilege.
He was an all-around good 15-year-old boy,” Percy said. And an aspiring rapper who was just turning his life around. Blah Blah.
Different last name than Mother. CHECK!
Hanging out at 11PM on school night. CHECK!

Absentee Mom says he’s a “good boy”. CHECK!
Dead at 15 years of age. CHECK!
The recipe for another tragedy.
Don’t let your child hang out on street corners. Good boys do not hang out.
