I knew one of the individuals involved in this horrific crime. (not the trigger man) We grew up together and completed our K-12 education together. I know he had a rough upbringing, not alot of guidance, and struggled with behavior issues; however that is no excuse. This crime was malicious and premeditated. All four individuals set out to rob innocent people in downtown Wilmington. Therefore, if someone died as a result of a planned robbery everyone should face the same consequence. For me, the plan to commit a robbery that then results in death means everyone is guilty. It is hard to imagine my childhood buddy facing the death penalty, but people have to endure the consequences of their poor decision making. I am genuinely disappointed, disgusted, and shocked by my classmates actions. My thoughts and prayers are with the victim's family. God Bless
