RIP Willie. I didn't know him but all I can think about is that he was being shot to death, while I was sleeping peacefully in my bed less than a couple of minutes away from where he was killed. I didn't even hear any gunshots around that time. Wish I knew more of what happened to him, since it happened so close to where I live. I drive by the spot where there are candles & flowers left for him everyday. I miss the days, where there were more details to each story and there were pictures for most of the victims. I was suprised to even see this story on here. Since the new site has been up, this homocide blog sure has slowed done on keeping us informed on what is going on in the community. we don't even get a list of people who were killed the previous weeks on Mondays anymore. It has been over a week since there has been a new post. I guess we shouldnt complain, and just appreciate the new improve site.
