This Comment of the Day comes from MeMe, who wrote in about Darius Cannon
It hurts to see your brothers & sisters in pain. Your MOM and TWIN will never be the same. I’m praying to God that justice will be served. Who ever took it upon themselves to take your life has got to feel like the biggest scum the earth! I know they’ve heard by now that you were a good kid, you were loved by your family, the community & your peers. These senseless killings have to stop! Now this “killer” shot Darius outside IN PUBLIC not even 2 blocks away from the police station. I just knew some of these fools would learn from first 48, & Homicide Watch D.C. that you can run but you can’t hide.
Praying for the family, The Police & The person who murdered you.
R.I.P. Darius.
