    She needed help with her rent and he couldn’t pay so she tried to kick him out. She tried to use him and he wasn’t having it.

  2. Starr G on May 16, 2022 at 8:12 pm

    LADIES, IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO FIX THESE BROKEN AND DAMAGED MEN!!! Rip to our innocent victim.

    She said another woman in the apartment he took the gun from why they are not saying that the police have her too cuz she’s accessory she gets the same sentence that he gets

  5. Grimdrum on May 16, 2022 at 8:16 pm

    He is a spoiled, lazy, selfish looser. There are many out there. The video description is all wrong. It says killed by a man she was trying to help. He is not a man! Real men don’t sponge off women!!

  6. D.sheree life on May 16, 2022 at 8:18 pm

    We are living in a time where everyone is suspect…… This broadcasted every where…the dangers we face.

  7. Ubiquitous on May 16, 2022 at 8:18 pm

    You really can’t have people moving in

  8. gmshadowtraders on May 16, 2022 at 8:25 pm

  9. major walker on May 16, 2022 at 8:25 pm

  13. clifton chapman on May 16, 2022 at 8:32 pm

  14. Angelique Johnson on May 16, 2022 at 8:33 pm

    He didn’t have a gun, where and how did the gun get in the mix?

  15. Gracelike rain on May 16, 2022 at 8:37 pm

  16. MXC on May 16, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    Conflict resolution ? You got free rent now

  17. Wilford Gainer on May 16, 2022 at 8:39 pm

    People need to learn to read the ‘character’ of people that they meet. "The eyes never lie". Read them, you will see what you are dealing with. This is damn shame!!!

  18. Zone Pistolez on May 16, 2022 at 8:44 pm

    I always thought of this situation. Helping someone by giving them shelter. But what if you have to kic em out for whatever reason. They ain’t gonna be happy leaving.

  21. james bond on May 16, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    Number one we should be keeping God’s commandments and number two we are only to help those who we really know well who also keep God’s commandments. Period.

  22. ƝФ乂LEVI ¿ YT on May 16, 2022 at 8:48 pm

    Since when homeless men has firarms?

    She probably knew this man.

    It’s very rare to meet people who do things like this for others. The world we live in is evil nobody care about you really. Has to be more to the story

  23. Janero Jones on May 16, 2022 at 8:48 pm

    These niggas are sorry

  24. Helen Thomas on May 16, 2022 at 8:49 pm

    LORD, help. We need to teach our sons and daughters a little skepticism. We are not called to save everybody.

  25. TL MAS on May 16, 2022 at 8:49 pm

    SHE WAS LOOKING OUT FOR HIM UNTIL HE GOT HIMSELF TOGETHER!!!! WHY? WHY? WHY? YALL AINT GOT NO KIDS TOGETHER & HE AINT ….I BET ALL MY OWN MONEY….HELPING HIMSELF…WHICH IS WHY SHE ASKED HIM TO MOVE CAUSE HE WASNT EVEN HELPING HER!!!!

  26. Goldengodyse16 on May 16, 2022 at 8:50 pm

    You can’t help these niggas

  27. UtriedIt215 on May 16, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    That’s why you mind your damn business and let it may be a man if he can’t take care of himself what the hell are you gonna do with him

  28. Your's Truly Tron on May 16, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    The news lady said it could have been prevented by better conflict resolution.Did i hear her right?

  29. Quase Brasileiro on May 16, 2022 at 8:52 pm

    WTF

  30. Modern Skyn Alchemy Handcrafted Skincare on May 16, 2022 at 8:52 pm

    Wow. This is an example of no good deed goes unpunished.

  31. Ivy Velasquez on May 16, 2022 at 8:53 pm

    POS!

  32. Mark Pickett on May 16, 2022 at 8:53 pm

    Women love thugs.

  33. Finn Manuel-Miranda on May 16, 2022 at 8:55 pm

    What was up with the stupid conflict resolution comment at the end?

  34. LISTEN-LEARN-SPEAK on May 16, 2022 at 8:57 pm

    WOW!!! He look disturbed!! Letting people move into to your private space is a chance you take, most people will take advantage and it’s hard to remove them especially if they are receiving mail. I know people want to help but nope be mindful who it is and help from a distance!

  35. V Arroz on May 16, 2022 at 8:57 pm

    It’s NOT only homeless people, It”s ANYBODY you don’t really ,really DON’T know – even those you do! – You should you CONSULT GOD FIRST! As it is written in his HOLY WORD "Lean NOT into your OWN UNDERSTANDING, BUT in ALL your ways ACKNOWLEDGE HIM and HE WILL direct your paths". You never know what spirit/s people are bringing into your home when you decide to let them become that close to you especially in living quarters. It’s only two spirits at Force working in this world and that is the holy spirit of God and the spirit of the enemy which is the devil Believe It or Not makes it NO LESS TRUE! It has nothing to do with their housing status, But EVERYTHING to do with type of spirit is in that person and you don’t know until you ask GOD to reveal that to you…and HE WILL.

  36. Marlon Barrios on May 16, 2022 at 8:58 pm

    Damn the reporting on this was horrible. First the anchor says a man shot a woman after just moving in, then the reporter after her says the victim was trying to help and was shot because of that, then the mother says that they (victim and suspect) were arguing cuz the victim was kicking the suspect out of the apartment. Wtf?!!!! Condolences to the mother though.

  37. John Wick on May 16, 2022 at 8:58 pm

    That’s why people only mind their business now… and don’t ever help any onedown South where guns are plenty

  38. Vaughns_ World37 on May 16, 2022 at 8:59 pm

  39. Nunya FawKingBiz on May 16, 2022 at 9:00 pm
