I'm so sorry, my sympathy to your family.
I live in LA, I remember when it happened. I also remember his half-brother (also you're cousin?) speaking on the news and being just absolutely tore up that he was supposedly the one that they were after. I cannot imagine the guilt he will feel for the rest of his life.
I sincerely hope they catch this shit. I'm, also, glad that his picture is being put out in other parts of the country. I thought it was just going to stay a local thing. Wish they had done it sooner.
