It's really sad that the young lady lost her life because she chose to associate with losers. The owner of the property allows her son to deal drugs from the house and look like a typical hoodlum, bald with baggy pants. I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner. The people who live in that house are withholding information about the shooting. They know exactly who was responsible and why it happened! You're not welcomed in our neighborhood.
