This is heartbreaking. Makes you wonder about the system and motives in the first place.
Will there be a rigorous investigation to find the murderer by DFW police? It appears there is no justice in Dallas.
Now that an obvious message has been sent ... The LAW needs to send a reply that exposes the messenger n collapses the message but doesn't end in a HUG for the inhumane behavior
dallaspd is 100% behind this.
So messed
He wa shot in the same apartment building and in the mouth! If that’s not a message, I don’t know what is!
This so tragic. At worst it's retaliatory because a white woman was held accountable for her actions. At best, it's another senseless gun death enabled by lax regulations. Either way, no one is winning.
Reportedly. What does that mean?
