Police remove tape from homicide scene
That is number 9 shooting dead, and it’s just
The beginning of June .
These people murdered all over , not just in Antioch have names. I think it is terribly disrespectful to the victim, and their family when they are reduced to a number.
Thank u on behalf of his family and friends for pointing out that it is disrespectful to reduce a human being to a mere number as he was much much more. I am extremely blessed and thankful for each and every one of the 21 years we spent loving each other.
