Shooting near Catholic University

[Anonymous]

That's an odd case:

And an update to it:

I live near Catholic Uni and believe that you can get robbed in the area, but why would anyone take the victim to campus to do that? The plaza where this happened is right at the entrance to campus and you'd go there only if you want to make sure you'd be caught. There are cameras everywhere, and people walk there in the morning to get to work and visit the Basilica which opens at 8 am. I haven't seen any ATMs close by. Also, the police said they actually knew each other, so the update doesn't make any sense unless his acquaintance robbed him.

Drug deal turned flip turned murder.

Armed robbery. They didn’t know each other

So sad

Awful! And the police initially said they knew each other which they in no way did. Way to go building trust in the police!

God that's terrible.

If the video showed them walking calmly (perhaps the guy was too scared to resist at that point!) it would be a logical assumption that they were together. Something bad clearly happened from there.

I find it very odd that there is a cold-blooded killer on the loose right near multiple universities with summer students, yet despite surveillance footage, there is positively zero description released.

This sounds fishy.

If you know the area, there's no reason other than a pre-meeting for something that the victim would even be on that side of the street. TWU is a clear walk up the eastern side of Michigan to the metro

Don’t do this. Not known. The poor guy texted his Mom as it was happening probably scared out of his mind. His poor Mom heartbreaking

Although unless he knew to access Metro under the area by the ArtsWalk, being on the CUA side of the street to get to the station entrance on McCormack Ave is not a big deal. Less crowded too away from all the morning people at Starbucks.

OP. The location of this crime just baffles me. Well, there is a statue there, and maybe someone offered to show it to him? That's why initially he looked comfortable walking down there. I doubt that he would have followed a total stranger too.

I’d guess the robber threatened him to move in that way to get off the busy street of witnesses. I hope the police have some surveillance of the street to see where this guy was confronted.

Do you think muggers with guns are that smart? Or maybe they are smart - this one hasn’t gotten caught yet. And of course, the ideal place to get victims is a lightly trafficked area.
