Mom Loses Public Housing After Son Films Rap Video Inside Apartment

NEAR WEST SIDE — A woman has lost her CHA apartment in part because her son filmed a rap video featuring gun-toting gang members in her unit on the Near West Side.

The son, Nokomis Jefferson, who raps under the name "Shoota Mac," appeared with about 18 other men, some of whom point guns at the camera and each other in the video that officials say was filmed in his mother's unit at Roosevelt Square, a mixed-income Chicago Housing Authority development.
