I am posting this because we know Todd. Baby Boy and Todd's son were best friends and spent hours upon hours together when they were younger. My heart just hurts for Todd's son and Todd's mother. I hope LE figures this out very fast.

I am waiting for more information. As far as I knew, Todd was not a drug user so I am not sure where the syringe comes into play and LE previously stated it was not drug related. I am also curious about the gun and whether it was Todd's or the shooter's as the article says nothing about finding a gun with Honeycutt.
