“Rashamba”.....isn’t that enoughNine times out of ten, you don't even know the name - the nature of the crime is sufficient to infer the race of the perp with a high degree of accuracy.

Surprise, surprise, surprise
https://people.com/elderly-neighbor-died-after-couple-s-argument-led-to-arson-12057147 The greatest surprise is the relatively just sentence, although the loss to his family is profound. RIP, Mr. Nash, and Semper Fi!

[selfie from Nash's Facebook page] Nash was was a beloved father and brother who was always looking out for his family members, his sister Debra Nash previously told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
After their parents died, Nash took on a guardian role for both his siblings and three children, she said.
A former U.S. Marine Corps member, he would take care of his siblings with Alzheimer’s and lupus. He paid for Debra’s exam for a substance abuse control license, called to check whether she was studying and celebrated with her after she got the license, the grieving sister had told the outlet.

That is one beat looking 28 year old. The 71 year old man she killed looked younger.
