DeMarco Powell was shot dead inside a vehicle in November in West Englewood. Reader "Ms G" posted this about him:
Im hurt and extremely upset! Damarco Powell was the father of my firstborn grandson! Somebody please tell me how do we explain to my 10 year old grandson that he will never see his dad again? Never see him waiting to pick him at school, no more arguments over who can play the best video game, How do me and my daughter explain to him that this is real, cuz today he thinks its just a bad joke! When will this senseless violence stop?
