Nothing good happens after midnight. 2 homicides in 3 days is never good because once they start happening they do not stop. Antioch residents better start getting it together or we will be on the front pages of every paper replacing Richmond.
I live on that street. I knew I heard screaming coming from somewhere. I heard a truck pull away from the street rather quickly after the screaming. I’m not sure if that has anything to do with the incident.
