Another Chicago Public Schools student killed

The Chicago Public Schools lost its 32nd student since the start of the school year when a man shot a teenager headed to a dice game.

Marquell Blake was a 10th-grader at a charter school. He was shot Wednesday.

According to family members, Blake was carrying a large sum of money and was shot during a robbery attempt.

An aunt, Eugenia Baxter, said the 15-year-old wasn't in a gang, but was a tough, strong kid.

Relatives said Blake had been the victim of street violence six months before, when he was stabbed.
