... I mean, you've got to wonder what led up to this point for Marcos Almeida. A 51-year-old dude, just shot multiple times in his own home? It's like, what were they thinking? 
And now the family has to go through all this pain and uncertainty. The police are doing their thing, but I hope they can catch a lead soon so we don't have to think about this for too long... it's just really sad 
This is so sad... a life cut short like that is just horrific. You'd think with all the advancements we have in law enforcement, stuff like this wouldn't still happen. I mean, they've got cameras everywhere now, and forensic techs who can analyze DNA and all that jazz. So what's going on here? Are people just getting bolder or was it a random thing? 
And what about his family? They must be devastated... it's just so unfair 
. and poor marcus almeida, his life was literally cut short in his own home 
. you'd think the cops would have this one figured out by now lol but nope, still investigating 
. can't say i'm surprised though, chicago's got a reputation for being a bit of a wild card 
. anyway, my heart goes out to his fam and loved ones, hoping they get some answers soon 
.
, i'm still trying to wrap my head around how senseless a life lost can be 
, hope the police get the help they need and find some answers soon 
... it's just too much, you know? And a gunshot wound to the head, chest, and back? That's just cruel 
.
. We can't change what's happened in this case, but maybe it can be a wake-up call for us to re-evaluate our own relationships and priorities 
.
. And what really gets me is that these tragedies often go unsolved because of the lack of evidence or witnesses 
just saw this news and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it... 51 years old is not old, you know? seems like such a senseless tragedy 
The South Shore community is already reeling from the loss of another young life. I'm thinking about all those people who knew Marcos Almeida and how this must be affecting them. It's just so senseless, though.
