Oh, those of you who judge so fast, thinking this murder was gun-related and involved 'thugs' of a certain race?
Guess what, the victim was a 62 year old African-American man, the cause was blunt-force trauma, and police have arrested a caucasian male for the murder. Police credit public help in resolving this case so soon. (The victim's photo was on News 25 tonight)
