Gun-free zone fail.

It’s almost like those “GUN FREE” zone signs attract bad people with evil in their heart.

The photo above shows the doors just outside where a 25-year-old man was shot, execution style, late Friday /early Saturday.

“This ain’t Englewood!” the mother of the dead man cried out.

Well, when you bring Englewood attitudes, values and Englewood’s violent predators to McCormick Place, part of the economic engine that drives Chicago and is the location where hundreds of thousands of visitors come to see Chicago, then yes, you get violence. Especially when you add some alcohol to the mix.

Chicago (Tribune) – A 25-year-old man was shot to death inside a Hyatt Regency hotel at McCormick Place in the South Loop neighborhood early Saturday, police said.

Courtney Taylor, of the 1600 block of South Paulina Street, was in a group of several men during a birthday party in the hotel lobby when a male attacker pulled out a gun and fired shots, police said.

Taylor suffered multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

No one was in custody as of early Saturday.

Inside the hotel’s lobby, police officers blocked off the area leading to the south tower of the building with yellow crime tape, tying one end to a hand-sanitizing stand near the front door.

Shattered glass peppered the floor near a set of elevators inside the crime scene. Several potted plants lay on their sides. Some chairs were tipped over. A bottle of Patron and a bottle of vodka lay empty.

Taylor’s body lay in view of the windows on the south side of the hotel.

Police found at least a half-dozen shell casings and one live round at the scene.

Second City Cop points out that the Hyatt has “premium” surveillance cameras, but the video – “to a straight up execution” – hasn’t been released.

Thank heavens the Hyatt was posted “NO GUNS”! Someone might have gotten hurt without that sign. We’re glad they had “premium” video surveillance, so we can see a nice HD-quality video of the brazen crimes.

We remind you about Lee Goodman’s bunch protesting a suburban grocer that refused to put up the signs:
