Slain Chicago rapper Lil JoJo’s dream was to get signed to major record label. But the 18-year-old Englewood resident’s dream was cut short after he was gunned down in a barrage of gunfire as he rode on the back pegs of a friend’s bike on Sept. 4.

Family and friends packed the Jones Funeral Home in Chicago to pay their respects to 18-year-old Joseph Coleman, affectionately known to many as Lil’ JoJo.
