We all say it. We see something bad on the news or read it on the internet. And we say..."There is no way that could ever happen to me". But the reality of it is...it can. Last Tuesday at about 1 am my brother in law was brutally murdered. His car was set on fire and then he was stabbed approximately 14 times. This all happening a block away from my in law's home. He managed to make it to a neighbors home yelling for help only to collapse on their front porch as they opened the door. He had absolutely no chance. Both of his lungs were punctured. They were able to catch the guy who did this in less than 48 hours. We now come to find out this was all over a woman. I find it so sad that our world has come to this. Our family will be forever haunted by the atrocity. My son will never get to know his Uncle...or even remember him. I take comfort in the fact that he is so young that he has not had to feel the pain and anger the rest of us have. I plan to be at every single day of trial possible. Maybe I can find some peace in justice.
RIP Mark Anthony Henson II

My sincere condolences for your tragic loss.
Oh my gosh, that is absolutely horrid and so senseless. I am so glad they found the person responsible and I certainly hope justice serves him up with a huge penalty.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. My cousin was murdered the sunday before thanksgiving three years ago and her murderer still has not been brought to trial. I pray for peace & mercy for your entire family. I know first hand the hole that violent crime leaves in a family.
