Between this murder, the murders at Cafe Racer and the murder in Ravenna Park–all committed this year–I’m not feeling so good about our neighborhood.
Also, all of these murders were committed with guns.
I noticed camera’s pointing at a house back on this day…was wondering if it was related to this…wow.
