The aggravated robbery for which he was imprisoned for five years is troubling, at least to me, although fortunately the victim was not shot. He moved to Minneapolis to get a fresh start in 2007.

Thanks for posting that Daily News report with copies of his police and court records. It was startling. (I’m not going to stick up, though, for the cops who killed him.) The bloodwork from the police autopsy also shows that he was high on Fentanyl at the time of his death and had methamphetamine in his bloodstream. These things should all be taken into consideration, given the attempt to canonize him. He wasn’t a saint.
