Why do an autopsy. Its obvious she died of gunshots. It doesn’t make since
Standard procedure…. IF the state wants to secure a conviction, they must be able to prove what happened. An autopsy is the way you document facts as to what happened to a body/person/victim.
We called him Sing. He was so sweet and nice. Just a big smiling teddy bear, lost his life at only 22. Just a kid still. Rest In Peace my friend. You will be missed.
Hi Bonnie! Do you know if the family has setup a GoFundMe to help with Funeral expenses?
Not that I know of yet. His parents live out of the country.
Hey, here is the GoFundMe his family has set up https://www.gofundme.com/f/gurjitpal-singh-funerals-cremation?qid=7cd8a93eb5d92459061cfaf45dd18f6f
This should be a capital murder case and the person convicted should be executed in his own neighborhood so it would deter others from killing people who work for a living.
you are right, this is my nieghborhood. gks
Alot if things should be like when a cop kill a person for no reason ..
There is always a reason and it is usually because the person fought the cop. Don’t fight cops and you don’t die. That is proven millions of times a year with smart people who have interactions with law enforcement.
RIP my friend 😢 you will truly be missed.
Such a good dude.
He was a really cool guy, me and my boyfriend talked to him all the time. He was funny and he was quiet. Im sure he did nothing to deserve what happened to him.
You would never think that working at a convenient store could be so dangerous. I work at a convenient store myself and this scares the s*** out of me!!!!
RIP SING WE WILL MISS YOU
Hopefully this perp will resist with a weapon when cornered and will get put down by PoPo lead (killed) …if captured expedite the trial and when found guilty a swift death to cold blooded murderers …….zero tolerance in my hood ……D Lawrence Liberty,Tx
My sister in law works @ a convenient store in Liberty. They are not allowed to carry a gun…
Maybe it would have had a different/better outcome if the worker were allowed to defend himself.
Rip Sing you will be missed
I talked to Sing at least 5 times a week. This is so sad. Rest In Peace.
He was a good person that I talked to several times a week. Rest In Peace
He was such a nice person always smiling. This is senseless and tragic.
The family has setup this GoFundMe account to help with the cost of the funeral
