"When my brother went to check on
his car, he had an altercation with
an employee from a tow company,
who claimed my brother did not pay
his car note. This altercation
escalated, and both men shot and
killed each other. My brother was
only 19 years old. "

"When my sister was catching up with her
high school friend, two men approached
them. These two men were angry with my
sister's friend, and decided to shoot her
friend in front of my sister. The two men
realized that my sister was a key witness,
and proceeded to run after her. Moments
later, she was shot and killed. She was
only 20 years old. "

"My brother was 22 years old when he
was shot in the head. He was shot
because the murderers thought my
brother was someone else. The
murder happened on 5th Ave. and 8th
Street. The killers were never found."
