    It’s amazing how quick people are to judge, he hasn’t even had his day in court so how do you know it wasn’t self defense.

    Stabbed and shot ? – overkill. Highly personal conflict

    You can’t say he’s guilty until he’s had his day in court so many people are found guilty until proven innocent before they’ve had a trial…IDK wat happened besides he’s being charged with murder…prayers for both families in this situation…
