Other than Donald Young this is the first murder I can recall associated with Obama, though there are probably others.
The dude who was about to testify in the Passport breach scandal was murdered.
Note that his first name was "Lieutenant"....that was not a rank of any kind, but it makes it confusing since it's abbreviated, "Lt." in the article.
You may want to reconsider your screen-name...Brit Hume's son, Sandy, committed suicide. As a result, Brit rededicated his life to Christ. This information is easy to come by.
Brit’s son, Sandy Hume, was not murdered. He committed suicide at home.

Key witness in passport fraud case fatally shot
A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church, the Metropolitan Police Department said yesterday.
Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the department’s Criminal Investigations Division.
Cmdr. Anzallo said a police officer was patrolling the neighborhood when gunshots were heard, then Lt. Harris was found dead inside the vehicle, which investigators would describe only as a blue car.
Emergency medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
City police said they do not know whether his death was a direct result of his cooperation with federal investigators.
“We don’t have any information right now that connects his murder to that case,” Cmdr. Anzallo said.
Police say a “shot spotter” device helped an officer locate Lt. Harris.
A State Department spokeswoman yesterday declined to comment, saying the investigation into the passport fraud is ongoing.
The Washington Times reported April 5 that contractors for the State Department had improperly accessed passport information for presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain, which resulted in a series of firings that reached into the agency’s top ranks.
One agency employee, who was not identified in documents filed in U.S. District Court, was implicated in a credit-card fraud scheme after Lt. Harris told federal authorities he obtained “passport information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State.”
“Other than Donald Young this is the first murder I can recall associated with Obama, though there are probably others.”
Not counting the four “suicides” in Chicago?
I thought Brit Hume’s son committed suicide.
The gay choir director at Obama’s church?
I was actually just reviewing information on Donald Young’s murder a couple weeks ago. There was a second man - also openly gay, also a member of Obama’s old “church” who was killed during the campaign as well. The two murders prompted the GLBT community in Chicago to become afraid there was a “serial killer” beginning to target gays living openly in the community...
Wow I didn’t know about Brit’s son.How sad.
