It is tragic that one of the victims has died. It is good to see that murder charges are being pursued for the gunmen. Nice to see the community involved in cases such as this which helps speed up the investigation.
How does a 24 year old with a violent criminal history be free to gun people down on the freeway?
Dam shame kids now days have no sense..California needs to do death penalty on cases like this …..
