Timothes Stanford stands at 120th Place and State Street in Chicago, not far from where his brother lies dead, the victim of a fatal shooting late Thursday night. Hours earlier, a flurry of frantic phone calls began amongst members of Stanford’s large family as siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles learned of the shooting. Stanford was able to remain calm, relying on his faith for strength.

Back at the first crime scene, investigators collected evidence and dropped it into paper bags until early Friday morning.
When they were finished, Stanford said, police let him see his brother.
He shook the officer’s hand afterward, and the officer complimented him for keeping his emotions in check.
“God’s got him, he’s in good hands,” Stanford said. “It’s my brother, I love him to death, but I can’t do nothing about it. He gone.”
