Trinity Choir Director Killed

Tragedy has struck the people of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Donald Young, the congregation’s choir director was murdered. The Sun-Times has the story:

Last week, Donald Young, was "on fire." He was animated, praise-dancing, and the choir he had directed for two decades responded with a joyful noise. The Dec. 17 performance was typical of Young's "infectious spirit."

"When he directed, it was like the Lord took over," the Rev. Joe Ann Watson, music department administrator at Trinity United Church of Christ on the South Side, said Wednesday.

Young was found shot to death in his apartment early Sunday morning, just hours before he was planning to leave Chicago to spend the holiday with a close friend, a woman who had become like a mother to him, friends said.

Police continue to investigate.
