Yes it was
Hey Van… “Identity is being withheld pending notification of his family.”
Have some respect
Any update on what happened here? This is very sad. I live in this neighborhood and no one on our street (a cross street of st emilion) even knew this happened until today. If he was murdered, shouldn’t we be worried? Is there something that told them there is no threat to others?
There has been no update yet, unfortunately.
