Clearly, the shooting of Sheldon Francis, who was only a suspect, is a racist lynching. /s

Why would someone shoot an elderly couple in a cemetery?Robbery? Or, random hate. The perp probably has a criminal and/or psychiatric history.

A motive for the shooting of the elderly couple has not been released.If they were black, it's a family matter. If they were white, it was sport.

I see that the suspect is black. That means that this story will get about 1/100th the publicity of the Arbery (?) shooting in Atlanta.
