That's two cases with arrests, but they have three others including the 1300 Orrem (Larry Lockhart),
1600 E St NE (Victim UNnamed) and one other i can't recall. I hope MPD closes those cases soon

Fox 5 reported it was over neighborhood turf..

9:43,
The report I saw from Fox said the same thing that MPD said, which was that the two were known associates, even friends, and that this was NOT a conflict over turf. Read it here.

Tragic. So sad about this. Who knows what kind of talent the world will miss out on. 19 years on this earth is too short.

This story is so heartbreaking and confusing...to shoot someone you call a friend multiple times, burn them to cover it up and then you say its an accident...what does FRIEND mean to some ppl? We all have flaws and we all make mistakes but NOONE deserves this...this was someones son, brother,nephew and alot of us knows how it feels to lose someone you love so why put someone else thru it. Senseless....RIP to this young man and my condolences to his family as well the accused!
