Choir Conductor At Well-Known Church Killed

Put this under the "What happened here?" banner. From CBS2Chicago...

A Chicago man who conducted choir for two decades at a well-known black church on the city's South Side has been killed.

Forty-seven-year-old Donald Young was found unresponsive in his South Side apartment on Sunday morning. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

The Cook County medical examiner's office ruled his death a homicide and Chicago police are investigating.

Reverend Jeremiah Wright Junior says Young was well-loved at Trinity United Church of Christ.

Young also taught fourth grade and was planning on attending graduate school to become a principal.
Just so you'll know yeah this is the same Trinity that has made national news since Senator Barack Obama started running for President this year. It has a "controversial" value system that has raised eyebrows that has for the most part subsided in recent months.
