#4 Martin’s daughter – Akeelah Addison Martin, 22 – was also murdered in 2019 in Fuller Park, and that case has never been solved.

#5 Yes. He's a really young looking 15. Figure he was a druggie and a bangah and he probably actually looked 28 last week.

...Was just thinking the same thing.

2-4 shots is a random, wrong-time-wrong-place thing.

Twenty-four rounds on the other hand, seems kinda...personal.

#9 "Dat movie, I seen it..."
His niece.
"So I know how he met his decease!
My uncle's attackers

#10 I live in Florida. It is an insult to a Cracker for someone to call me that. I'm not a cracker by heritage or DNA. I'm a yankee, but the sort that fits in here.

#11 Perhaps the parent-person who gave 'Sincere' his name is an Oxford scholar, fond of Jacobean poetry?
from the OED
'sincere', adj.
d. (Obscure) Free from hurt; uninjured
Popular: free of holes
From John Dryden's Metamorphoses:

... and threw: the trembling weapon pass'd
Through nine bull-hides, each under other plac'd,
On his broad shield; and stuck within the last.
Achilles wrench'd it out; and sent again
The hostile gift: the hostile gift was vain.
He try'd a third, a tough well-chosen spear;
Th' inviolable body stood sincere,

#15 Probably a very well-meaning young man, if you get my meaning. Durrr.

#17 If he was hit 24 times, imagine how many rounds were fired!
