A 33-year-old Chicago man was shot seven times in the upper torso Friday in what Evanston police are considering a homicide and “not a random act,” police officials said Monday. Angel Jesus Miranda, 33, of the 2800 block of South Central Avenue, Chicago, died Friday on the 1800 block of Simpson Street near Evanston’s William H. Twiggs Park, according to police. The park is adjacent to the North Shore Canal on Evanston’s western edge. Miranda had been in Evanston visiting friends, said Evanston Police Com- mander Ryan Glew. He de- clined to comment on whether police have identi- fied a suspect or person of interest in the case. Glew said the investiga- tion so far shows that the shooting was not gang re- lated.

EDITORIALS To curb sexual abuse of children, be alert to ‘grooming’ “Leaving Neverland,” the HBO documenta- ry alleging Michael Jackson sexually abused two young boys, examines an insidious aspect of child sex abuse: the way predators might groom children and even parents to build intimacy and trust. Unfortunately, many of these alleged be- haviors are clear only in retrospect. Gifts and outings with an admired adult may seem normal and even welcome. The child is flat- tered. The parents are proud. Only later might the plot become clear. Jackson died in 2009. His family and estate MULUGETA AYENE/AP have long denied the allegations contained in Airplane parts on the ground at the scene of an Ethiopian Airlines crash south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Sunday. “Leaving Neverland.” But the documentary raises uncomfortable questions about predatory behavior.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

The subject of bad bosses is again in the news thanks to Amy Klobuchar, U.S. senator, Democratic presidential aspirant, and, as a recent story in the Times made clear, the living antithesis of whatever “Minnesota Nice” is supposed to be.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Combat farms’ antibiotic overuse During the Lenten season of dietary restrictions, Chicagoans should spend time examining the dangerous practices of factory farms in Illinois — specifically, the overuse of antibiotics. It is becoming increasingly difficult to cure infections with antibiotics due to the overuse of these lifesaving medicines at factory farms. Antibiotics are often fed to ani- mals that aren’t even sick. As a result, bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, making these infections difficult to treat. The World Health Organization calls for countries to eliminate routine antibi- otic use on healthy animals for growth promotion and disease prevention, citing scientific evidence that links such overuse in animals to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. That’s why the Illinois Public Interest Research Group has introduced the Keep Antibiotics Effective Act (S.B. 1186), which would ban the routine use of antibiotics on factory farms. This state General As- sembly bill is crucial to protecting pub- lic health in the state of Illinois and beyond, which is why our senators need to vote in support of it. — Michelle Solayman, Chicago BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE Officers investigate after an off-duty Chicago detective was found dead in his Near West Side home on Sunday.

Chicago’s best sports section, as judged by the Associated Press Sports Editors Splashy moves left for others Big deals make noise, but Bears quietly add CB Skrine, RB Davis

Brad Biggs On the Bears

Safeties around the NFL were seeing dollar signs Monday afternoon when news broke of Landon Collins’ record-setting deal with the Redskins. Collins reset the bar for the position with a reported six-year, $84 million contract that includes a whopping $45 million guaranteed. Agents and players alike are eagerly awaiting the details of this deal when it becomes official after the opening of the new league year at 3 p.m. Wednesday. Meanwhile, in the NFC North the Lions were quick out of the gate after the negotiating window opened at 11 a.m., moving quickly on a host of players like the Bears did a year ago. They bolstered the defense with agreements for pass rusher Trey Flowers and nickel cornerback Justin Coleman and added tight end Jesse James and slot receiver Danny Amendola on offense. Collins wasn’t the only safety to hit the jackpot. Tyrann Mathieu will head to the Chiefs, where he’s reportedly set to sign a three-year, $42 million contract. That leaves Earl Thomas as arguably the best player available at the position awaiting a deal and perhaps seeking more than the $14 million-per-year average Collins and Mathieu scored. From there, a host of experienced safeties are available, and one source said Monday night that Bears safety Adrian Amos is close to having a deal in place elsewhere. That could lead the Bears to Tashaun Gipson, a veteran who spent the last three seasons with the Jaguars after four years with the Browns. He’s 28 and has 20 career BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE ARMANDO L. SANCHEZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE interceptions with a track record for durability. The Jaguars cut the 28-year-old Gipson instead of paying him $7.25 million this season.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL B10. UC. Q&A*2. The conference tournament is back in Chicago. Questions? Good. We’ve got answers.

JIM DELANY BIG TEN COMMISSIONER After D.C. and NYC, other new sites await

By Teddy Greenstein | Chicago Tribune

After forays to the DMV and MSG, the Big Ten basketball tournament returns to the Chi. The conference’s 2017 stop in Washington did little but anger its Midwestern fan base. Even Maryland fans were steamed, given that the Terrapins didn’t win a game at the Verizon Center. Most New Yorkers ignored last year’s event at Madison Square Garden, but not Big Ten alumni living in the Big Apple. Coaches also relished the opportunity (“Monumental,” Indiana’s Archie Miller said), as did the players. Michigan’s Charles Matthews, a Chicago native, said, “The experience here is second to none.” This week’s event returns to its roots: the United Center, which hosted the first four (1998-2001) and also in 2003, ’05, ’07, ’13 and ’15. A year after the conference landed just four teams in the NCAA tournament, the Big Ten is poised to send eight or nine, either of which would be a league record. Six teams are locks (Michigan State, Purdue, Michigan, Wisconsin, Maryland and Iowa). Minnesota is a safe bet. Ohio State and Indiana are bubbling. And in a show of overall balance, all 14 teams rank among Sagarin’s top 82. Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany looked back on the season and ahead to the tournament in an interview with the Tribune:

How satisfied have you been with Big Ten hoops this season? We had a great November and December. Our nonconference success rate, we won a tad below 80 percent and did well against first- and second-quartile teams, the best in the country. Top to bottom, it has been very competitive. The efforts we made to enhance the pre-conference season with the ACC Challenge and the Gavitt Games really popped. We pushed through the clutter in November and December, playing games on many days of the week across four platforms — CBS, AL GOLDIS/AP ESPN, Fox and BTN. You have four networks promoting Michigan State’s Cassius Winston is the pick among Dan Dakich and Shon Morris as the Big Ten's best player. you when you do well.

SHON MORRIS (BTN ANALYST) AND DAN DAKICH (ESPN) What else stands out? Having a 20-game (conference) season. It’s long, it’s arduous. It gets us closer to a true champion. In a year like this where we have strength top to bottom, it Before madness starts, announcers provides lots and lots of opportunities to win first-quartile games, teams in the top 60 to 70.

CAROLYN KASTER/AP FILE NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith, left, and NFL football Commissioner Roger Goodell speak during a news conference at the NFL Players Association in Washington in 2011. Another labor stoppage in NFL may not be far off

By Barry Wilner | Associated Press

NEW YORK — Eight years ago at this time, when the NFL was hitting a mere 91 and counting, discord between players and owners reached such a fevered state that the league locked out the union. Two years from now, when the NFL heads into its 102nd season, it could happen again. Yes, pro football as a business is healthy. Incredibly so, with revenues beyond $14 billion, TV ratings up and modern stadiums nearly everywhere. But the money-filled pot the league and its players share is beginning to heat up if not exactly boil.

For years, starting with 2000’s “X-Men” and ramping up with Marvel Studios’ 2012 juggernaut “The Avengers,” comic book do-gooder team-ups have been all the rage on the big screen. Why have just one hero, the thinking goes, when you can have two (“Batman v Superman”) or six (“Justice League”) — or more than two dozen (“Avengers: Infin- ity War”)? With the Walt Disney Co.’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox expected to be finalized this month, that trend is about to get supersized with a spandex-clad family reunion that many fans thought they’d never live to see. In one fell swoop, the block- buster $71-billion mega-deal brings nearly the entire stable of Marvel superheroes and villains under one owner, with marquee Fox-owned characters like the X-Men, Deadpool and the Fantas- tic Four now free to be absorbed into the Walt Disney-controlled Marvel Cinematic Universe. (One notable exception is Spider-Man, whose rights are owned by Sony Pictures, though in recent years that studio has forged an increas- ingly close and fruitful creative partnership with Marvel.) For comic book devotees, the prospect of seeing, say, Wolverine, Deadpool and Mister Fantastic saving the world alongside Cap- tain America, Thor and Black E.
