people.
Please wait for 24 hours after a death to name the victim so that the family and extended family can be informed. The worst possible way to find out that you have lost a loved one is via the internet or Facebook. Even well intended messages of condolences that include names should be held back for a couple of days to give the family a chance to notify the important people in the life of the victim.
My condolences go out to the family and friends of this person.
Dangerous for the regular commuters at nights.
Can't feel some of people who chose to live reckless and unlawfully thinking it's ok because it's the new in thing.
This person picked him up from a gas station in Ease End at night, drive to the other side of the island with this man in a dark secluded area and for what reason? Oh and the police found his pants down so tell me what you think. Seems to me he had some serious activities going on up Windy Hill and knowing Alston he probably threatened to tell and this individual got upset and hit him.
No one deserves to be murdered...NO ONE!!
