In the wee hours of Sunday, June 20, music journalist (and Reader contributor) Scott Morrow was struck in the back by a stray bullet in Humboldt Park when an unknown assailant opened fire on a nearby car following a traffic altercation. Morrow was taken by ambulance to Mount Sinai Hospital, and according to sister Susie Rowley, he lost his spleen and one kidney, as well as suffering damage to his stomach, abdomen, and pancreas. Rowley has set up a GoFundMe to help defray the cost of Morrow’s recovery, which will be arduous. On Wednesday, August 4, the folks who run Team Music Trivia night at GMan Tavern will host a fundraiser for Morrow, and four-person teams can register for $40.
