A 15-year-old boy was shot to death just blocks from President Obama?s Hyde Park home.

Cornelius German was killed Monday night in a friend?s backyard in the 5000 block of South Evans Avenue after a dice game broke up.

Police say German was shot once in the stomach and died at the scene, which is less than four blocks from the Obamas? home in the 5000 block of South Greenwood in the adjacent Kenwood neighborhood.

He was waiting for his parents to pick him up at the house because, his parents say, he was afraid to wait at the bus stop because of all the shootings in the neighborhood.
