RE: Allegedly shot?
The “journalists” are leaving open the possibility that the victim suddenly considered his pessimistic summation of the future of his life and shot himself in despair.
So police advice “do what the robbers want” at the convenience store rather than put up a fight doesn’t work.
Giving a little charity to stay on the good side of unbalanced street people in an encounter doesn’t work.
Giving your money withdrawn under threat of knife or gun held by an attacker from your ATM account or your cash on the way to a store doesn’t work.
Given that it’s da ‘hood, I suppose he could have been hit by a random bullet.
