awful, Kaen, just awful. It appears to be an assassination if I am reading this right.He was shot in the mouth and in the chest at close range as he was exiting his car. It was described as an ambush by his mother. He had no known enemies.

So far, precious little information available.
It's devastating...

There are only mere scraps of information emerging and these scraps contradict eachother..
It's more heartbreaking than scary. I mean it's always scary ... but for him to be gunned down NOW after showing so much courage going into that court room that Hermus actually acknowledged it this morning...
We just met him and he was decent and lovely and truthful
and now his life has been taken.
(I've not moved to new hashtag yet because I'm not convinced it is a separate unconnected murder..)
Facts are exceedingly slow to emerge here. I cannot understand why.
Nor have any videos emerged yet, but they may before soon. Keep close eye on Twitter.

I thought someone explained this already. That AGs hair had to be checked for self harm objects before taken back into confined custody. IMO if one watches the video it makes sense because the officer goes around AGs entire head, touching the hair from the top to the bottom.

MOO

Where were the officer's gloves while doing this? Officers don't get in anybody's hair without gloves and they carry the gloves with them.

I just watched the video. I don't believe that was a comforting gesture. No way, no how. Even if it was to comfort, I don't get the outrage. If it was compassion, doesn't the officer have a right to her feelings? That was a search, IMO. Why the criticism of the officer? I don't have an explanation for no gloves. Maybe the officer felt they were not needed. But wow, you would think by some of these comments a crime was committed.
ETA: I have lived in 95% minority neighborhoods. I'm a white girl. I think African-Americans can figure things out. White people aren't helping by second-guessing this officer's actions. It is demeaning to this woman of color to think she was under some weird kind of pressure to stroke Amber's hair. No wonder things are a mess. IMO.

This is more than scary. I've had my doubts about this whole affair since Botham was shot and all the unbelievable reasons Guyger was even there. Her failure to even put a compress on the innocent man she shot. The Trial that included perverting the castle doctrine and the murder verdict that ended up with a measly 10 year sentence. The display of affection and concern for the murderess. And now the death of a witness that told of his fear for his life? If I was writing a script meant to stir up division and turmoil it wouldn't compare to the facts of what has transpired.

This has nothing to do with black or white. Its all about the lack of gloves. She was not doing a search.

Many of Amber's actions are indefensible, I agree totally. What are the "unbelievable reasons" she was there? If I recall, many dozens of residents said they had also gone to the wrong apartment. You are saying, in essence, that AG premeditated the killing of BJ. Doesn't make sense. MOO.

Am I the only one whose mind went to a place of "this is not a random shooting and has something to do with his testimony".....or do I just read too much true crime?
