NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS KILLED HOURS APART

Police said they found the 23-year-old in the alley about 8:50 p.m. Monday. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:56 p.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. Just nine hours earlier, it was L'Terrick Benion who had run up the steps of his next-door neighbors' apartment to deliver news to Corey Mays that his son, Cauirece Graham, had been shot two blocks away. Graham, 28, was sitting inside the restaurant about 11:55 a.m. when a gunman walked in and fired about eight shots, hitting Graham repeatedly, according to police and staff at the restaurant. The gunman then got on a bike and rode away, witnesses said. Graham was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 12:40 p.m., officials said. Neighbors said Tuesday a man had walked in the restaurant and asked Graham where he lived. Graham responded "Motown," and the man left. He went to the gas station at West Garfield Boulevard and South Damen Avenue before returning and opening fire, neighbors said. Police had not determined whether the two shootings were related, they said Tuesday. Benion and Graham both belonged to separate factions of the Black P Stones gang, police said.
