Yummy: The Last Days of a Southside Shorty/ G. Neri/ 95 pages

So, somehow I ended up with 2 gang themed books in a row. This is based on a true story of "Yummy" from a Chicago Southside gang. He was 11 years old when the police were hunting him down for the murder of a 14-year-old girl. This is fairly depressing, and appalling to hear about how & why gangs gets such young children involved to do their dirty work.
