I know some about this, a couple of my friends were there. All i know is hear say, but I guess the guy that died, along with his sister joined some neighbors that were drinking on a porch. The guy started fighting with his sister, then another guy tried to break them up. Supposedly the sister choked her brother, and he passed out and never regained conciousness.

This MUST be wrong, the "worst crime zone in America" is around our morphodite convention center.

Wow; drinking quarts of malt liquor on a porch and a fight breaks out between He and his Sister, Sister chokes him to death. She must have been a drag queen or he must have been a puny, whimpy small sort of guy. I guess the other guy just stood there and watched afraid she might choke him too or got off on watching it.

I just said one guy tried to break them up, and no the guy was 6'5".

Not sure.. sounds more like self defense if he laid his hands on her first.

I missed the part of the article that went into this detail. Hmm.
What a sad day for their parents, one child dead and another likely heading to jail.

I agree that its very insensitive. People assume this was a drug deal, a gang related, robbery or something crime related, but it wasn't. This was a 27 year old man with a child that now has no father. I know the situation is odd, but several families are now missing several members in different ways. I feel for the families.

Yes it is offensive, It reminds me of the Ross and Wilson incident on Z93 in Atlanta when I was in high school
