9-year-old Chicago girl fatally shot in the head enjoyed ice cream and playing on her scooter

Michael Goodman, 43, is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of Serabi Medina.

A 9-year-old girl in Chicago was playing on her scooter and enjoying some ice cream Saturday only moments before her adult neighbor walked across the street, shot her in the head and killed her, according to court records.

Michael Goodman, 43, is charged with first-degree murder and was held without bond Tuesday. He remained in jail Thursday, court records said.

Serabi’s father ran toward his daughter but did not get to her in time — Goodman raised the firearm and shot the child in the head, court records alleged.

Serabi’s father managed to tackle Goodman into the vestibule, and as the pair fell to the ground, the gun fired and struck Goodman in the eye, court records said.

A motive was not specified in the bond proffer.

Megan Kelley, a neighbor and friend of the girl’s family, told the Chicago Sun-Times that the gunman confronted the girl and her father about noise. “Yesterday, when he came out, before he shot her, he had said something about them being too loud,” Kelley said.

She also told the newspaper that the suspect had a history of complaining about children playing in the neighborhood.

Goodman’s lawyer told the court Tuesday he suffers from severe mental health issues, and a mental health care order for immediate psychiatric treatment was entered into the court, Ortiz said.

Sometimes this world is just too fucked up to bear thinking about. Don't care if he was mentally ill, no excuse. Someone with such a poor state of mental health should not be able to get access to a lethal weapon ever. This child should be alive. So so fucked up.

She must have been noisy AF.

There's one more kid that will never go to high school, never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

Keep on Rocking in the Free World you Second Amendment troglodyte cunts

r5 you act like you now if he acquired his gun legally.

R6 you act like you now how to speak english.

Michael Goodman was not pretty.

[QUOTE][R6] you act like you now how to speak english.

Right off the bat, stupid cunt just can't resist demonstrating its intense stupidity. And blistering lack of knowledge about the event or neighborhood.

Wait. If we think YOU'RE a dumbfuck, does it mean you're lower than blacks by your own inadequate estimations, making you lower than low or any new accommodations for inbred racist fucks?

R5, more legal guns means more illegal guns since illegal guns are mostly stolen from people who purchased them legally

This is why the ugly should be shunned

Shady as hell and totally uncalled for…

Bitch should've licked quieter.

If only the girl had been armed….

Its dumb to blame guns. Drunks kills lots of people (in cars and in acts of drunken rage) too and where are the calls to ban alcohol? If I was living in a working class neighborhood in a large city that has neutered the police I would want a gun to protect my family.

One of the things that can stop a very bad little strumpet with an ice cream cone is a mentally-deranged guy with a gun.

He deserves the death penalty.

"His public defender had asked for reasonable bail, as he had no criminal history and held a job as a computer programmer."

...from his long-suffering mother's basement, no doubt.

Never have a snack purse....

r18 Reasonable bail should be 12 trillion dollars

Hopefully someone in prison tortures him before slashing his throat.

He looks like he has a black eye in the mug shot

r22 he had his eye shot out if I read correctly

The padawan at R23 is correct. The father was struggling /wrestling with the killer, and the gun fired shooting the killer in the eye.

The last thing that little girl needed was ice cream.

Oh Christ, here comes the diet nazi

Ron DeSantis checking in and center at r25! Emphasizing it all he has to give!

Now that I live in WV, I carry legally. Funny but it seems like everyone is armed but unlike Florida which seems to have shooting a few times a day, I rarely read about random shootings like this insane story

They should have left his eye untreated and watched how that worked out for him

R28 This wasn't in Florida

This country is beyond garbage. Where a father can witness a neighbor come out of their apartment and shoot his kid dead right there. This is a third world country.

I understand his impulse.

[quote] Its dumb to blame guns.

Sir, I salute you. You’re a true moron.

People are too Stupid and cruel to posses guns. They should be banned.

How dare you!

Looks more like he was shot in the head above his eye.

You're telling me! But I learned a wonderful discipline trick when it comes to pineapple slices...

She was at wrong place, wrong time. But guns no issue.

Noisy bitch had it coming.

I was going to make a joke about the Datalounge losing another member, but the perp is under 50 and too unkempt to be gay.

The defence approach is odd. He's previously been an upstanding member of the community and gainfully employed, so should get bail! He's also a complete loon who needs a mental health assessment!

[quote]If only the girl had been armed….

Normally she was. After being scooter-jacked last Fall, her daddy scored a nice Glock for protection. Just her luck it was in the shop having pearlized "Hello Kitty" handles added.

I dislike noisy children as well, but this seems a bit extreme.

I know that R28…people here for the most part respect firearms and have been handling them since they were kids. Even with most carrying, I don’t live in fear of getting killed by a gun…i

My mention of Fl was just how it’s amazing how they have and Chicago have shootings almost daily.

R15, the police aren't "neutered" - in fact, they're shooting more citizens than ever

You must be tiny-dicked Jason Aldean or another MAGA chud who is scared of cities

Portage Park is a nice NW suburb (or at least it was 15 years ago when I lived in Chicago). Chronic mental health patient living with his parents? Curious to know how he got a gun. He doesn't look like the type who'd know how to get his hands on an illegal gun.

Before or after?

I read that as playing with her cooter. Ill show myself out.

[quote] The defence approach is odd.

He shot a little girl in the head because she was playing in the street (which all kids used to do before they became hardwired slaves to gaming corporations).

That does sort of presage a schizophrenic defense strategy.

R46 the only things he looks like he’d know how to get his hand on are a play station controller and a sack of hamburgers.

Thank you, R54. I even searched on Urban Dictionary and couldn't find an entry for it.

[quote] Did she die?

No. The word "fatally" refers to the fact she was a femme fatale.

The good news is that she was spared a life of fat-shaming and rejection from we DLers.

And she looks Asian! Tell me more!
