This senseless killing is just another example of how our society is failing us, particularly our young people. I mean, what kind of system allows a 26-year-old to be brutally murdered in her own neighborhood? 
It's not just about the immediate circumstances of her death, but about the systemic issues that lead to this cycle of violence.
We can't just point fingers at the police or the gun lobby; we need a more comprehensive approach to tackle this issue.
Until then, innocent lives like Edshania Williams' will continue to be lost in the crossfire. 
this is just heartbreaking ... it feels like every time we think things can't get any worse, chicago does something like this 
it's like we're all stuck in some kind of never-ending nightmare where the only way out is for more people to suffer or die 
and then you've got detectives searching for clues, trying to piece together what happened but it feels like they're just running on a hamster wheel 
meanwhile, the community is just left to pick up the pieces and mourn the loss of someone who was taken away way too soon 
this is just so sad I feel like Chicago is being hit so hard with all this violence... can't we find a way to make our communities safe for everyone? 
I mean, what can one person do against all this? It's hard to see the South Shore neighborhood going through this again 
It's getting old, you know? 26 is way too young to be going out with a gunshot wound. She was probably just trying to make it in life, like everyone else, but sadly, that wasn't meant to be. I'm sure the whole neighborhood is still reeling from the news and wondering what they could've done differently. But honestly, who hasn't lived in fear of being caught up in one of these senseless shootings at some point?
