"It's not even warm yet, not even hot yet and shootings are up. Homicides are up. This is absolutely crazy," said Fr. Pfleger.

Pfleger organized a march Saturday afternoon to honor the man who was gunned down.

"I was angry and outraged and sad all at the same time. It happened a block from where my son was killed in 1998," he said.



There is no word on any arrests or suspects.
