That's really horrendous. I hope they find the killer.

How utterly ridiculous. What a d*mn shame.

they arrested a suspect, he is a current employee, a porter, and also an ex-con.

He was working at Pop as part of a prison work release program. unfortunately, the guy killed the manager in an early morning robbery attempt. police say he had a previous history of robbery, burglary and violence, and became the prime suspect when his alibi didn't check out.

Of course, no-one has been proven guilty and we don't know where the investigation and perhaps eventual trial will go, but my first thought was "No good deed goes unpunished."

Sad.
