CHICAGO, IL – A seemingly minor dispute over cheese turned deadly at Monte’s Grill in Roseland, leaving two men dead and a community in shock. The altercation began when a customer, dissatisfied with his sandwich, engaged in a loud argument with an employee.
The employee, feeling threatened, called her son for backup. When he arrived, the situation escalated as the customer, aided by another man, attacked him. In self-defense, the son drew a firearm and fired, striking Dexter Williams and Monte Potts. Both were later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Local authorities are appealing to the public for any additional information that could aid in their investigation, as the community mourns the loss and seeks to prevent future tragedies.
