It’s very sad, how someone can take a life and not turn themselves in you had the guts to shoot very have the guts go do your forever time in prison whoever u are u are a coward ok I hope the police will catch u soon
Isn’t the main priority of a criminal is to not get caught?
Get real who in the hell would do that dumbass???
The ones robbing the van were barely over 5 foot. Sounds like damn children! Have there been any arrests for the other armed robberies in recent months? I hear a lot about kids getting arrested for some grass but the ones shooting and robbing us can’t be found. If only the cops didn’t have to waste their time then maybe we could be catching the violent criminals!
Total community is the only way forward…….time is out for pointing one finger at the other person while three are pointed back at you.we all must all accept responsibility for cleaning this mess up as it affects us all one way or another……even as fallout..me included.Holla…….
