15 Tom 3. 15 Tom 3. Alright, a little bit more additional flash. It was just a black male wearing a white t-shirt. He was either bald or had a very low haircut. He was approximately 5'9 or 5'10 in height. And he ran back eastbound on Longshore. He came from eastbound, did the shooting, then ran back eastbound. Let me get that flash out. Cars standby, unless you have a priority, please.

This is unbelievably sad! I bet it was over something so dumb and petty and another life taken too soon for no reason at all!!! People really don’t have a soul to be able to take another person’s life away.
