I don't know if JPD even knows where this happened. Horton Ave is on Briarwood and there is no 3500 block, only in the 5000's. There's a Horton St that has addresses in the 3500 range and it's on the perimeter of Hawkins Field.
"He appeared to be a white male." Good grief, police speak is exhausting.
10:31, even though he appeared to be a white male, does anyone know how he identified? We really need to stop all this offensive cis-gender language.
Fatal gunshot wound to the leg?
1:17,
Major arteries run through each leg. If these arteries are punctured you can bleed out in minutes if a tourniquet is not applied quickly.
He was perceived as a white male in this perceived crime.

......." at the time, there were no apparent signs of trauma to his body.:....
Wouldn't there be a rather large pool of blood if he bled out? Would the blood not be an indication of some sort of trauma......at the time?
WAPT is saying the mother couldn't even recognize the body he was beaten so bad. So much for "no apparent signs of trauma".
Sad thing is here is that Nick was found after being dumped off Horton Avenue in North Jackson on Monday by someone walking up to the house trying to find the home he was going to for a hair cut around 9am. The family didn't know or find out until Tuesday August 20, 2019.
Still no answers in his case but his family and loved ones wont stop until we have justice. Nick was a Daddy to 3 wonderful children under the ages of 10.
And there was very much so trauma and in words of someone the family suspects was involved he was left faceless. This world we live in today is a cruel and sad world.
