South Side - South Shore Coming home tonight I took a spin around the neighborhood. I saw a police car shining his light in an abandoned lot at 79th and Muskegon. This man was lying dead in the lot. I'm not sure if he was murdered or just died. There was no police tape up so I walked up to the body to take a picture. I took four or five before the cops ran me off, told me to cross the street and put tape around the entire lot. I asked one of the officers what happened to the man. He replied that the photographer took his picture with a flash and killed the man lying on the ground. 'Get across the street he stated more forcefully. I walked back to the other side of the street and felt the cold envelop me.
