Williams already looks like he has something stuck up his tookus. Yuck. Glad they caught him.

Another black on black murder. Somtimes I think some people have no value on life. This guy thought he was a big man with a gun. I wonder how he would feel if the bullet went his direction.

Joshua looks like he is saying:

"I ain't do nuffin' officer. {sniffle} I ain't do nuffin!"

"Murray's includes a charges of assault with intent to kill in 2006 and cocaine possession in 2007. Police did not say whether the charges are still pending."

I would hope that common sense would tell people the charges are no longer pending since Murray is dead.

Ditto, Marianne0558. I read the article twice to make sure I was reading it correctly. Surely, prosecutors are not that stupid to wonder if the case will be dismissed, unless there are other people charged. I wonder if the PnC meant the charges on the guy they arrested today.

Note to Tammie: you're correct about the tookus; at least when he goes to "real jail" he'll know what it is stuck up his tookus...........won't be cocaine, will it?

As to another black killing black murder.......what a macabre form of birth control. I know all blacks are not like these guys, but the drug/gang culture has no appreciation for the lives of others. There is never any emotion from them; they see murder as a way to "prove" themselves and hopefully scare off others. The gang/drug culture sometimes requires an inductee to kill someone in order to become a gang member............sick, sick, sick people.

Yawn and Boo F***ing Hoo...

Mr. Murray's family was just on TV whining about dear Artrell not getting to cut his birthday cake. Maybe if they had been a better influence in the past he would be there with them pigging out. Instead, by the time this sweet boy was 17 (maybe even 16 if it was prior to July 10, 2006), he already had an "assault with intent to kill" charge, and a year later a "cocaine possession" charge.

Now, granted they may have been pending at his death, so he was still presumed innocent, but from what we know at this point, it looks like Mr. Murray wasn't exactly a choirboy. He was probably headed for a life of crime, so maybe Mr. Williams did the community a favor by offing him during this drug deal. Now that he's caught, unless some judge bonds him out, it's like getting a two-for-one deal.

That's another thing, and I guess we should be thankful, but how stupid are the criminals around here? Within a day, we get a bank-robber caught because the dye-pack blows up in his license-plateless car and he leaves a trail leading right to his hiding place, and then we have some Einstein shooting another dude in broad daylight, and then getting caught driving the same vehicle that was identified leaving the scene of the murder. As the guy in the annoying GEICO ad says, "Brilliant!"

Now I'm sure some friends or family members will pull themselves from their grieving and have a go at me for talking badly about their wonderful Artrell, a lovely man who would never hurt a fly, would give anyone in need the shirt off of his back, and was in church every Sunday, and that's fine. I'll save them the time and say "I'm an a**hole." So shoot me...(that was a joke). But, at least I can sleep at night knowing my a** won't be shot to death by Arthur Artrell Murray.

This is a quote from the victim's mother: "He didn't get himself into trouble."

I have a few issues with this quote. If he didn't "get himself into trouble", who did? That is part of what is wrong with people today, no personal responsibility for their own actions.

I hate to speculate when it comes to these things, bit it leaves one to believe that she probably fed into that because he told her that he was set up and never had any drugs and never assaulted anyone.

She probably is one of those that says they are picking on him. I wonder how she explains the accusations that this was a drug deal gone bad? What does she think about that? Had I been a reporter I would have asked her those questions. Where is Nancy Grace when you need her?

All I can say is that not all African American men are drug dealers and killers. There are many of us doing positive things in our communities but bad news sells. I detest drug dealers because of the havoc they bring on a community. Good riddance to these two.
