Stories don’t get any lower or more depressing than this

Shannon Vincel, a St. Louis native and a cancer patient, was beaten to death in Illinois after flying to the state to receive radiation treatments, according to reports. 

The 46-year-old travelled to Zion, Illinois on Monday for medical care and was attacked around 9:30 p.m. while she and another patient were waiting for a hospital shuttle to pick them up from their hospital residence, KSDK reports.

According to the station a male suspect approached Vincel and started hitting her with a blunt object. The family added that Vincel was not robbed and police have reportedly not determined a clear motive and do not have any leads.

“She was just sitting there waiting for the shuttle to pick her up and take her to treatment,” Anita Adams, Vincel’s mother told KSDK. “Why would anyone just walk up and beat a girl from behind without warning and just beat her to death? Why?”

Adams added that her daughter believed she was safe because she was still “on hospital grounds.”

According to Fox 2 Now in St. Louis, the Cancer Treatment Centers of America is offering a $25,000 reward to anyone who has information about the beating.

A spokesperson for the Cancer Treatment Center of America told Fox 2 that they’ve increased security at the Zion location.

Vincel is reportedly scheduled to be buried in St. Louis on Tuesday.

“She was a gentle loving, sweet girl, and she would’ve never hurt anybody,” Adams told KSDK, “He was just pure evil. So It would be wonderful to get this – I can’t even call him a person. I don’t know what I can call him. If that thing were off the streets. Because no one is safe with people like that out walking around.”

  1. The victim is white. The race of the perp isn’t mentioned. That’s all that we need to know. Also is Zion near Chicago? Is there a connection between this and the Chicago instigator-thugs who were in Milwaukee calling on their “brothers” to murder white people?

  2. I just prayed that this walking V.D. would be caught and prosecuted ASAP. Preferably with a death sentence. Surely there are security cameras that captured this.

  3. Zion is North of Chicago, about 60 miles I would say, by the Wisconsin border. We used to go to a gun range near there for fun. The neighborhood used to be really old white people, then slowly turned black. I don’t even know if there are any whites living there at all. Winthrop Harbor is near by and notoriously BAD BAD neighborhood, always was in the news for gang related activity. I feel so sad for this poor woman.

  4. There is a rising sense of entitlement in many blacks to do bodily harm to whites. It’s only going to get worse after “Birf of a Nation” comes out. Talk about an inflammatory video. But it won’t stop Barky from having a private WH screening.

  5. Ever since Zion has taken in Cook County’s “displaced persons” the town has gone to hell on a hand cart. I’m soooo glad I moved just before the “exodus” from Chicago. I remember a different town, it was even a dry town when I lived there! My wife was born and raised there and I we still have family there. Hopefully they too can get out before it gets worse, but being the good kool aid drinkers they are they’ll believe that everything is fine. Because the “leaders” are looking out for the community. Kinda like looking at a pile of shit only to be to told that is all natural, pure organic, green produce fertilizer and it’s good for you, try a spoon full

  6. More like looking at a pile of shit only to be to told that is all natural, pure organic, green produce fertilizer and discovering it’s the decomposed bodies of your friends, family and acquaintances.

    That poor woman.

  7. As much as I still love the memories of growing up in deep south Illinois, it was becoming a police state even when I was a teen. The Republicans who (if memory serves) ran much of the southern half were very corrupt. It’s only gotten worse. Very unlikely we’d move back.
