CHARLES SIMS LOST COOL OVER AIR CONDITIONER DRIP

CHARLES 'Hot Head Charlie' Sims isn't much for air conditioning. Just ask poor Jimmy Parker. Cops in Chicago say that 'Hot Head Charlie' shot Parker eight times on June 2 after unraveling because of a dripping air conditioner. Apparently Sims' sister bitched that Parker dropped water on her from his apartment window above hers. Well, it wasn't Jimmy: it was the air conditioner dripping condensation. Poor Jimmy was only visiting a lady friend. Charlie confronted bewildered Jimmy about the slight outside the building. Parker denied it. Hot Head Charlie hit him. Parker hit Charlie. Sims pulled out Mr. 9mm and shot Parker. Then finished him off. Det. Jim Noradin said: “He administered a coup de grace of sorts."

Six witnesses have Hot Head Charlie as the shooter. Sims has denied involvement in the shooting.
