My heart goes out to the family of every single person on this blog. There are two things that link them all, pain and frustation. My brother's is a 19 year old Latino and the possibility of loosing him this way is a possibility that haunts me every day. When I hear gunshots i'm scared because I KNOW the victim will most likely be a Black or Latino/ Male/ in their late teens or early twenties. I don't know what's worse, loosing your loved one and not knowing why or knowing the killer is still free?

The chance of the police capturing these men in their 20s wearing dark clothing are pretty much non-existant.
