This incident is not merely a tragedy, it is an atrocity, an outrage.

Appears to be an AA gang hit. Still an unspeakable tragedy.

[Police chief] Dyer said the gunman is African American, standing about 5-foot-10 and weighing 200 to 215 pounds. He had an Afro-style haircut and was wearing jeans and white shoes.

The chief said the shooting might be gang-related and added that Rashad Sr. had gang connections when he was a juvenile.

Did this suspect intentionally shoot a toddler?
Stray bullets are tragic, if he purposefully shot this child he needs to be brought in dead, not alive.

This is just wrong. Why is it that black lives don't matter to blacks?

Being the child of a gang member makes you much more likely to die a violent death.
