As homicide detectives continue their investigation, family, friends and neighbors are in a state of shock over the fatal shooting of a beloved 81-year-old South Philadelphia store owner.

Relatives and friends cried and hugged Monday as they continue to grieve the horrific and inexplicable Christmas Eve murder of Marie Buck.

"She was an unbelievably warm, loving person and the worst of people don't deserve to die like that, let alone the best," nephew Wayne Fantozzi said.

Marie Buck operated her grocery store, simply called Marie's, at the corner of 6th and Titan. For 43 years, family members say, she never had a problem. That was until Christmas Eve morning.

It's a sick world. Imagine someone murdering your grandmother on Christmas Eve.

**** Philly Metro Ping ****

For 43 years, family members say, she never had a problem. . . . . A witness tells police just before 9 a.m., . . . a man in a hoodie and dark clothing walked in and shot Marie 12 times.

Times are changing for the worse. 43 years with no problems, then someone walks in and shoots her 12 times.

[Mr. Mojo]

a man in a hoodie and dark clothing walked in and shot Marie 12 times. The suspect said nothing, took nothing, and then walked out. "I mean who pours 12 shots into a 4'10" woman?

Someone who wants all white people dead.

“Times are changing for the worse. 43 years with no problems, then someone walks in and shoots her 12 times.
“

Whaddya wanna bet the perp is a “Holder’s Person?”

[Palio di Siena]

Gang initiation.

This BLM POS will be blabbing to some one and a 50,000.00 reward will bring them out of the sewer sooner than later

Normally I’d say this was probably just another race-based black-on-white Hate crime... but something about this is pinging my Hinky-Meter. Maybe I’ve just been watching too many British murder mysteries lately, but if I were the cops, I’d be interviewing all of her great-grandsons in the 16-25 age range who wanted money from her, or something like that.

[circlecity]

Shooting someone like that 12 times would seem to be something personal rather than a routine robbery. In either event it shows a lot of rage.

[bankwalker]

South Philly used to have organized crime.

Now it has disorganized crime.

This would have never stood in the old days.

[BenLurkin]

Now, if they had California’s ban against high capacity magazines, she would have only been shot ten times.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Or someone who was 86’ed for stealing and had it in for her......either is equally plausible roght now.

[BenLurkin]

Was she “connected?”

[Rannug]

I don’t know if you are a lady or not, but sure as feck you’re not perfect.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Because White Privilege.

Was this man purple or green?

[knarf]

I know nothing about Sou’Philly, but I had the immediate image of Doc, in West Side Story.

[bgill]

Biden only sees the need for two.

[Mrs. Don-o]

You shouldn’t use this thread to race-bait.
