  1. I remember watching a fire truck stop by and clean the blood off the street corner with a fire hose. I’ll never forget watching the combo of blood and water being cleaned off the sidewalk. I didn’t realize they never found out who killed this young man. I’m fairly sure this young man was shot and killed while a KPD officer was driving around the block on Sheridan too. I hope this family gets the closure they deserve.

  2. Why do we seek justice when the victims family doesn’t care. They probably know and may try to find their own justice.
    It’s good a somewhat rookie detective has the case, cuz it may take his career to solve it.
