๐จ๐๐ฉ๐ฝ A MOTHER DROPS HER SON AT SCHOOL โ MINUTES LATER, SHEโS SHOT DEAD IN THE FACE ๐๐จ
โจ๐ฉ๐ฝ๐ THE MURDER OF ROMECA MEEKS โ CHICAGO, ILLINOIS โ SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 ๐๐ฉ๐ฝโจ
โฐ Today, Monday morning, just after 9 a.m. in Chicagoโs South Loop, 31-year-old Romeca Meeks was doing what mothers do โ dropping her son off at school. Minutes later, she was lying in the street with a fatal gunshot wound to the face.
๐ According to reports, Romeca ran into her childโs father and another woman โ the other mother of his child. Tension erupted. Words flew. Fists flew. And then came the gun.
๐ซ Police say the altercation turned deadly when the other woman pulled a weapon, firing into Romecaโs face in broad daylight on the 2200 block of South State Street.
๐ Romeca was rushed to Stroger Hospital, but doctors could not save her. She was pronounced dead soon after.
๐ A mother. A daughter. A woman whose life was snatched in front of the world over an argument that should never have ended in gunfire.
โHow did a school drop-off turn into a murder scene? Why is gun violence the first response in our communities? And how many more children will grow up motherless because of senseless rage?
๐ The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information should contact the Chicago Police Department immediately.
