With her son’s death in the heart of Chicago still roiling the city, Seandell Holliday’s mother said she didn’t give the 16-year-old permission to go downtown before he was fatally shot near The Bean Saturday night.
Balloons are released to honor Seandell Holliday, a fellow 16-year-old student, at Gary Comer College Prep on May 19, 2022. Seandell was shot and killed at Millennium Park over the weekend on May 14.
The teen gathering Seandell was a part of and his subsequent death have forced city leaders to attempt to control such loose gatherings of kids descending on the Loop and Millennium Park — groups that are often prompted by social media to head to the center of the city. No youths were immediately turned away during a visit by a Tribune reporter as the rules began to be enforced. Several police vehicles were parked near the borders of the park in at least two locations, including an arrest wagon, and officers on bicycles could be seen in the area.
“So we’re not sitting there standing on our hands, waiting for things, but we are engaging these young people and working to make sure they follow the laws, and when they do break the laws, we take strict law enforcement actions,” Brown said. Vondale Singleton, a mentor to Seandell Holliday, waits for a balloon release ceremony to honor Seandell.
“It’s real hard dealing with something like this,” he said. “He was present in our hearts. He will always be there no matter what.”
