Chicago High School
Senior Shot to Death In
Teen Age Gun Battle
CHICAGO, (if>—A 17-year-old
high school senior was shot to
death Friday night in a teen-age
gang battle and police said a 14
year-old hj^jh school freshman re
lated that he fired the shot acci
dentally when he got excited.
Kenneth Sleboda, 17, was cut
down by a shotgun blast fired
from one of three automobiles
containing some 15 teen-agers. He
died from chest wounds in a doc
tor’s office a few minutes later.
The three autos sped away with
their occupants after the sliooting,
but some six hours later police
seized Clement (Cookie) Macis.
They said he related he fired
his father’s shotgun from the car
in which he sat.
Police Lt. Edward O’Malley said
the shooting followed an earlier
clash between rival gangs on the
South Side Friday night in which
one gang member was beaten with
a wrench.
O’Malley pieced together this
account:
Three youths were standing in
front of a hamburger restaurant
at 32nd and Morgan Streets when
Sleboda, who had been working
as a bun wrapper in a neighbor
hood bakery, joined them.
Three automobiles roared up
and squealed to a stop. One youth
leaped out with a wrench and
struck Robert Ryband in the ribs,
shouting:
“We’re ready for you . . .”
A shotgun blast from one of the
cars felled Sleboda and the cars
roared away.
