Local R&B Singer Shot

An independent R&B singer slated to perform at a music festival next weekend was shot in his home early Friday morning.

Kaijo Waan Hughes, 23, was shot in his home in the 100 block of Irish Lane in Valley about 1:45 a.m. during a home invasion and robbery, according to Valley Police Chief Joe Friel.

Hughes was in critical condition Friday evening, Friel said. No one has been arrested for the shooting.

Hughes, who was an honor student when he attended Coatesville Area Senior High School, is slated to perform at the second annual Music for the People Festival on Aug. 2 in Marion, Ind.

Hughes has seven songs posted on his MySpace Music page, which often up and coming musicians use to get discovered. Each song has roughly 1,000 hits.

In 2000, Hughes and two others performed at the South Coatesville Community Day. Then, the trio was a rap group known as Turbulent Minds.

These senseless, no thought of a human life people need to cut it out in Coatesville. I am sick and tired of reading this every day. Parents you need to stand up and teach your children right from wrong. It starts in the home. This city is turning into Philadelphia, and pretty soon people are going to be moving. Developers your crazy to want to build anything in this drug, crime infested city.

Just like the hard hat drug marchers of yester year said " Drug Dealer, Drug Dealer you cant hide". But years ago that was meant to mean the police would find you. Now today the saying still goes and it means that their drug dealer friends know who they are and they want the $$$$$ or else get a bullet.

Its a tuff way to erradicate the drugs in the city !
