police forces is no joke. Guyger's supporters have already killed one witness and caused hardship on this poor woman. The so-called "feds" in black suits who wouldn't even identify what agency they were with are suspect as well. Wonder who they really were?

4. Wouldn't it make more sense to kill him before he could testify?

Brown was a witness to a previous shooting in which Brown himself was one of the victims:

Brown had himself been wounded in a separate shooting, last November, outside a nightclub in northwest Dallas, according to reports. After a fistfight between him and another man, someone pulled a gun and began shooting, WFAA said. The conflict left another man dead.

In that shooting, Kendall Deshonn Morris, 26, was charged with murder in the death of 25-year-old Nicholas Shaq’uan Diggs, according to The Dallas Morning News at the time. Morris is out on bond, reported WFAA-TV.


The suspect in that previous shooting is out on bond.

Perhaps I missed an important detail somewhere, but could you explain why his murder is unrelated to the other shooting in which he was involved?

5. It's possible his killing was because of a previous case but the timing of his killing and the fact.

that he was shot in the mouth (was that a message that witnesses should keep quiet?) strongly suggests that he was killed in connection with his testimony in the Guyger case.

But you believe what you want.

Thank you for that permission, but I actually don't have a belief about who shot him, which is why I am asking people who are certain they do know.

What makes you believe he was shot in the mouth?

From the article you didn't read:


Brown was killed as he left his car to go into his apartment, according to Lee Merritt, the civil rights attorney who represented the family of Botham Jean, Guyger’s victim.

While he originally asserted that Brown had been shot in the mouth and chest, he later said the results of the autopsy would confirm the wounds’ location after another account said he’d been shot in the buttocks and side.



So, if Brown was shot in the mouth, why is Botham Jean's attorney lying about that?

But I thought you did: "Guyger's supporters have already killed one witness..."

I just thought maybe there was something I missed.
