By June 1, 2009 4:48 pm

Chicago had seven shooting deaths in 24 hours this weekend, and police say they have no suspects in custody.

All seven victims were men in their 20s or 30s, and all were shot to death.

The shootings occurred between 6:15 a.m. Saturday and just before 6 a.m. Sunday.

One victim, 30-year-old Demond Stansbury, was shot along with two of his cousins, who survived and are in fair condition.

The shootings spanned the city, happening on the North, South and West sides.

Chicago Police spokesman Roderick Drew says investigations into the shootings are ongoing.

On Saturday, police Superintendent Jody Weis spoke at an anti-violence march and rally on the West side.

    Chicago is the murder capital of america and they wanted to have the olympics there.the police are of no use in chicago,they are getting high,making deals with drug dealers,trying to embarass black men to shame them in front of their women,beating and torturing innocent blacks,keeping crime confined to black neighborhoods,which makes honest people blacks live under seige.police in chicago, no one trust them, because they are crooked and prone to criminal behavior.
