   CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago faith and community leaders are demanding justice in   
   the death of a beloved Lawndale great-grandmother, grandmother and mother.   
      
   Ondrea Monique King was shot and killed last weekend on the city's Southwest   
   Side.

   "She was an awesome little lady. All she ever did was smile and laugh," said   
   Unseld Parks, Monique's brother.   
      
   Monique would have been donning Chicago Bears gear, elated over her favorite   
   team's first win of the season on Sunday. But instead of celebrating, her   
   family is deep in mourning.   
      
   "My heart is heavy. I'm asking whoever did this to my jewel, please turn   
   yourself, here, right now. I'm hurting," said Shirley Parks, Monique's mother.   
      
   The 58-year-old died last Saturday. Chicago police said she was shot and   
   killed in the 3800-block of West Ogden while at a gathering in Little Village.   
      
   "Senseless. That's the only thing comes to my mind. Senseless. Senseless,"   
   said Christopher King, Monique's mother.   
      
   Monique's brother said he was standing outside the car she was sitting in   
   when, investigators say, multiple gunshots were fired from alley. One the   
   bullets hit Monique in the neck.   
      
   "For the ones who responsible, Man, y'all don't know what y'all took. You have   
   no idea what you took," he said.   
      
   Her family says they want Monique remembered not for her last moments, but for   
   her strong faith, the life she lived and love she gave to others.   
      
   "I don't know how I'm gonna get through this, because she was my best friend   
   since I was 2 years old," Unseld said.   
      
   Those who loved Monique most were both heartbroken and outraged as they   
   gathered on the block where she lived to demand answers and justice.   
      
   "She was a person who love people and who loved God," said The Leaders Network   
   Founder Rev. Ira Acree. "To meet her, to know her was to love her."   
      
   On Sunday night, faith leaders joined together to offer a $5,000 reward for   
   information that could lead to an arrest in her murder.   
      
   "If you saw something, if you hear anything, we all have a responsibility to   
   say something," said Harmony Community Church Pastor James Brooks.   
      
   They are hoping someone knows something that could bring this family peace   
   before they lay Monique to rest.
