18 Year Old Chicago Boy Convicted of Triple Murder

Most of the time the Urban Cafe covers news in the music scene, but it's important to me that we also discuss urban politics and community. So here we go!



Denzel Pittman, the 18 year old teen suspected of killing his girlfriend, her sister, and her mother, has been charged with 3 counts of murder.

On Monday, November 29th, Denzel and his 17 year old girlfriend Jade Hannah were in the middle of a domestic dispute when he pulled out a knife and stabbed her. Shortly after, he proceeded to stab her 43 year old mother, Stacy Cochran-Hill and her 11 year old sister, Joi Cochran.

Neighbors reported the dispute to police. When the police arrived, Denzel tried to run, but was later caught. He is currently awaiting a bond hearing.

When is this kind of violence going to stop? Now there are 4 people who will never get their lives back. The odds are already against us, let's stop making things worse for ourselves!!
