Colored Felon Tracey Morgan, 25, shot & killed and his mother shot & wounded after attending meeting run by Chicago police to quell black violence

A parolee was fatally shot on the South Side after leaving a meeting run by Chicago police and other law enforcement officials that is intended to steer gang members stay out of jail, authorities said.

Tracey Morgan, 25, and his mother were shot Tuesday night after she picked him up from the "gang call-in" at the Friendly Temple Church of God In Christ at 7745 S. State St. in the Chatham neighborhood, police said.

Police think that another vehicle followed their car and that someone inside opened fire in the 8200 block of South Lafayette Avenue, about a mile from the church.

Morgan was wounded in the abdomen and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 9:27 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. His mother, 55, was treated at the hospital for a wounded arm.

Detectives were investigating if Morgan, a reputed member for the Terror Dome faction of the Black P Stones, was targeted by a rival gang member who also attended the meeting, police said. No one was in custody as of Thursday afternoon.

Morgan was paroled from prison last year for a felony gun conviction, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections website.

The call-ins are a key strategy used by the Police Department in its efforts to reduce violence in Chicago.
