May have been a thrill kill since dead victim was not robbed, but specifically targeted, after he left a birthday party on Beale Street in Memphis. Some are linking it to Trayvon Martin.

Local media, yes, but not national media, which was obviously what he was referring to.

Sorry titles for forum articles are limited to a number of letters. I meant "not picked up by National Media." That would not fit.

Here is how other people are reporting it now, versus the coverage it was given when it happened. Most of the internet if you search for this will have something similar. It was really hard to find the original story. This one says "Just In".

After doing some google following that other post, it was clear what you intended to convey :tiphat:

Other then local news, it's only being touched by alternative non mainstream national news. We all will draw are own conclusions as to why that is. :tiphat:
