  28. Murder in Canyon Country, this makes me sad. Assault on the girlfriend too. They probably knew one another. Permanent solution to a temporary problem. Flared tempers. I hope he turns himself in, or is apprehended safely, without any harm to the public, or property. I’m sure that’s always the goal. If he resists in any way, or gives chase, they will beat his ass, which he’d deserve. I just hope it doesn’t have to end in another death without trial, not that I’m doubting his guilt or anything like that, but we do have a justice system. I hope for the families sake that the murderer is brought to justice. I know what it feels like to have a loved one murdered and their killer walks free.
