No, Cork, my friend was Shelby Holmes. He was an ex-employee of LSU's SID, and at time of death, asst. manager of the River Center Box Office and statistician for the McKinley football team.

He was shot while walking home from work (which he did most days.)

I pray that somehow, some way, the person responsible will be found, but after almost 2 years, I feel less confident that it will happen.

It's funny to come to work and see this thread today. Not haha funny. I've been dwelling on death all morning, I don't know why. Sometimes I can't shake it.

I remember reading about this on here when it happened. I didn't know they never found the shithead that did it. How horrible. I'm genuinely sorry for your loss.

One of my two best friends growing up was murdered four years ago. They caught the guy, but he has yet to go to trial. Though he is doing 10 years for assaulting a prison guard and breaking a light bulb (dumb motherfricker pleaded guilty and got sentenced as a habitual offender). Stabbed and shot my friend, in his home, then burned the house down around him. If I could get away with it, I'd kill him myself, long slow and painful. But alas, I have too much to lose to do dumb shite like that. It sucks because it feels like a little piece of my life that died with him.

Cork - you are a stand up guy. It sounds like you saved at least one life by not opening that door, which took serious balls and shows that you are, in fact, the kind of friend everyone should have. You've lived through serious shite, and I hope you find some peace somewhere in the whole process (it sounds like you have/are).
