Kevin M. Braziel, whose name was not revealed in the mass media until after he died some two weeks after being shot on West Broadway near Olympic Cafe Plus, had an extensive criminal record. He was also a frequent user of Facebook and documented his life online, though probably not with the intention of providing an object lesson in what life-headed-for-prison-or-the-grave looks like.

Details Are Fuzzy After Shooting At Penn And West Broadway...

A local television station is reporting there was a shooting yesterday at "Penn and West Broadway. JNS blog was on the ground near there and thought the crime scene tape seemed to be surrounding an area all around the entrance to Olympic Cafe Plus, usually referred to as Olympic Cafe Two by local residents.

The tape remained up for several hours and police were at the scene as late as midnight, leading Northsiders to believe a fatality or serious injury was involved. There was also a homicide on Ilion Ave. N. last night. JNS blog doesn't have the details, yet, but an examination of the jail roster would lead me to believe the woman has not yet been charged and it is possible she's not in jail.
