The family was going to donate any additional money towards a women's shelter. I was re-reading the parole report and it struck me ED was more prone to domestic violence than with the general public. IS there anyone to confirm they may have been a couple? It also strikes me to have Taliyah know him, he'd have to be someone close to SB or her friends or family? I can't see her introducing her daughter to someone she was casual with. I can think of many reasons she would hide their relationship if there was one - his past and/or current gang ties, possible connection to CM - I'll play devils advocate - perhaps one or both no longer involved in gang/criminal activity - they are from same area but there is an age gap of 10 years so maybe they only "knew" of each other, reaction from family and friends - most people would be concerned about a woman close to them getting involved with convicted drug trafficker and pimp, her ongoing custody case - revelations of this relationship could affect the balance of custody. Perhaps the recent court date around child support was some impetuous to break things off?
I'm just throwing around ideas - perhaps more will come out in the days and weeks ahead but we might have to wait for a trial.
