A Chicago family is seeking justice after a teenage mother was found murdered.
A Chicago family wants justice after teen mother Chiyenne Washington was found strangled on South Washtenaw Avenue in Douglass Park, leaving a son."Because all I can think about, she probably was calling my name, and I couldn't save her," Alana Bell said."It's devastating because one day I'm going to have to eventually tell him ," Bell said.
The infant's mother was found unresponsive Saturday after allegedly being strangled in a first-floor apartment in the 1200-block of South Washtenaw Avenue in Douglass Park."What was so bad that you had to take her life like that, man?" Bell said. Before the tragic discovery, Bell said her daughter was having confrontations with someone who lives in the unit where, police say, she was eventually killed.
"I've spoke to her about it. I said, 'I don't think it's a good idea. I think you all should end that. It's toxic. You're still young. You have your life ahead of you,'" Bell said. "I'm sorry that I wasn't there to protect you, and I couldn't hold you and tell you, 'I love you!'" Police wouldn't say if they are questioning someone, have someone in custody or are still searching for a suspect
