One of the victims of gun violence this past weekend died, allegedly, over something as small as a dog relieving itself on someone else’s property.
Police say the fatal shooting happened in the 7700 block of South Shore on August 3 around 8:45 p.m. The victim was struck in the left arm and chest and pronounced dead on the scene.
“The puppies were peeing on the porch. The pee ran down the porch to the neighbor’s,” he explained.
Despite several witnesses, police say no arrest have been made in this case.

An animal rescue group is calling for an investigation after a pit bull who was adopted two weeks ago died from what animal advocates believe was physical and sexual abuse after being found injured in South Los Angeles on Monday.
The 5-year-old dog, Cargo, was dumped in front of a house on the 200 block of West 85th Street in the Florence neighborhood, according to Dianty Marquez of Ghetto Rescue Ffoundation, an Anaheim Hills-based animal nonprofit associated with police in the great L.A. area.
A resident who wished to remain anonymous said neighbors reported seeing two African-American men who "dropped it off there and just left." The woman said she couldn't get ahold of any city or county animal control officials to respond, so she reached out to Ghetto Rescue.
"That's when we got word that there had been some trauma in her vaginal area," Marquez said, "and they made her as comfy as they could."
But by Tuesday morning, the pit bull had taken a turn for the worse. "She passed because she had some type of blunt force trauma and it caused her aorta to rupture," Marquez said.
The dog was microchipped, and Ghetto Rescue took that information and began investigating.

Robert “Rob” Wilson, 37, intervened after he saw 35-year-old Donavous Jerome Drennon allegedly holding a Yorkshire Terrier puppy by the throat, Wilson’s fiancée, Sue Hoskins, told the Mufreesboro Daily News Journal.
“Mr. Wilson said something to Mr. Drennon about how he was carrying his dog, and as a result, somehow it ended up with Drennon pulling a gun and shooting Mr. Wilson,” Smyrna Police Sgt. Bobby Gibson tells PEOPLE.
“I dropped my phone and went running out there to see Rob saying, ‘Why are you doing that?’ ” she recalled, “and the guy said it was his puppy, and he just shot him.”
