    The question that comes to me is what was the purpose of them being on redclift street at 3am.? Then the fact that one of them got shot in the back of his neck suggests he was probably running from his attacker while the other victim was facing him and got shot in his abdomen. So was this a potential robbery gone bad or something else?

    He will eventually be found. This is q small place. Who he really wanted to kill? I wonder if it’s the one who survived or the one who died. Whichever you cane with intentions to kill and now he hiding? Chicken+

    You hurt a man and kill another and walk free. How do you feel about this? how did you sleep lastnight? Does seeing the news affects you? Plus where are the backstories going to come from?
