Perp is Deion Patterson.

Since perp has military training …. Think he has changed clothes ….. description on clothes possibly outdated. My apologies for earlier

[traderrob6]

Prior offenses, particulars pending.

[NautiNurse]

Good point about the clothing change. Heard same in multiple reports.

[NautiNurse]

Well, this takes care of two of my four early predictions. Bad medical outcome and drugs. My other suspicions were extranged lover and big medical bill.

You need to look more towards MK Ultra, for more do a DuckDuckGo Search for MKUltra.

And don't forget: "we're from the government and here to help you."

[mabarker1]

He kinda looks like blubba noosegate wallace.

Old report 30+ minutes regarding red vehicle. Anything on your side ?

[NautiNurse]

Prior offenses, particulars pending.

I was thinking maybe it was a glamor photo:

Ah yes, let’s blame the VA for this. If this guy shot four people because of a bad prescription then he should not have been on the streets in the first place. It’s always someone else’s fault.

No vehicle or location updates.

Dont forget all the calls on this site for execution of any medical people who were involved in caring for covid patients with or without administering vaccines. I

Vehicle was at apartments

A Covid connection never occurred to me. Although, Deion did don a mask for the shooting. I thought the mask was to hide his facial features. Deion underestimated the camera outside of the elevator before donning his mask.
