I’m torn on my sympathy for the two victims. Both 20 yrs old. Both basically committing crimes. I to have sympathy for there families during during this time especially it being the Christmas season.
I wish we could have shown these men that life is good. That you don’t need to partake in criminal activity to make a living.
There has been too many murders in Evansville this year.
Good luck to the man still in hospital and my condolences to the murder victim family and friends.
