As I entered the gas station on Sunday I was greeted with a hello from a patron in line. I was then asked the routine questions that arise from extended relatives of a small town. I waited in line, but before I could pay for gas I was embraced with a hug from Gail who had just finished paying for her purchase. Before we embraced I saw the concern and worry on her face. It looked as if she had been crying or wanted to. I speculated about the reasons for the worry and I decided it was the events of the past week.
On Saturday, 1/19/2008, I learned a second suspect was involved in the shooting who turned himself in to authorities. His name, Demarcus Lydia, cousin of the original suspect. The dynamics of the incident have increased.
- Another brother behind bars
- Family members of the victim hurt
- Family members of the suspects hurt (i.e. Gail)
- Additional children that will be fatherless
Being from a small town an incident like this devestates everyone. Somehow we are all related, therefore everyone has lost. I pray for the families of all; God is still able to turn a negative into a positive. It hurts but God is able to take away the pain.
