CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) – Activists went door-to-door Wednesday in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, hoping to find information about the murder last Friday morning of a 49-year-old woman.
Elected officials and family and friends of Tamiko Talbert joined the activists at 71st Street and Artesian Avenue, where she was shot to death by someone who pulled up in a Dodge Durango.
She was parking her car, going to her job as a hair stylist at about 4:30 am.
“This is the worst feeling anybody want to go through,” he said. “I can’t go to sleep at night. Everything in the room I pile on the bed to make me think she’s lying next to me, just to touch something. This is unbelievable. I just say, y’all, please help, I know somebody seen something,” her husband, Alfonzo Flemming, told WBBM Newsradio.
Talbert’s friend Salona Bell issued a chilling warning for other Chicagoans.
“Chicago, wake up. This could be you tomorrow,” Bell said.
Glen Brooks, the Chicago Police Department community policing director,
urged people to speak up and said that’s how you empower yourselves.
He also noted the $15,000 reward for information regarding homicides.
