Why do the brave young men always settle with a knife or gun?

Glad he was caught, but I would like to know what happened? Was there a confrontation? Did these guys know each other or was it a robbery?

Stabbed in the neck? Sounds like a hit to me.

Every time I come onto this website, there's always some stabbing or shooting making headline news. It saddens me to know that my future children will never be safe on the streets of their County.
I hope the victim makes a full recovery and that the scumbag suspect gets what he deserves.

keepin_it_real ,I was thinking that also. Did they know each other or did the guy just stab the guy for no good reason. (well there isn't a good reason). But wish there was more to the story ! I do hope the Victim recovers fully and glad they caught the suspect.
