The attackers vanished in their white pickup as Clemons looked up to see his baby brother slumped in a chair. Bryan Clemons, 23, never had the chance to duck.
Clemons, 29, stared into his brother’s lifeless eyes, screamed for help and carried him outside as an ambulance raced toward them. Death won out in Grand Park that night in April 2009.
A target and triggerman himself, Carlos Clemons lost a brother five months earlier during a two-year stretch of violence that also claimed an uncle and several friends.
