Why was it lying there for so long?
Just saw this on my feed. 4:30 to 5:30 doesn’t seem that long but somehow they still don’t know anything. Smh I hope they catch whoever did it.
Broadway and Norfolk… isn’t that near like a bunch of apartments? I’m not saying it’s impossible but I feel like somebody would’ve heard shots. Also they said “found dead after a gunshot” like… okay, but was it confirmed the time? Feels weird they don’t have more details.
Another Cambridge shooting, what is going on with Massachusetts lately? They always say “still piecing together what happened” like that explains everything. If the pedestrian called at 5:30, couldn’t cameras or something show who was around before 4:30? Idk, I just hate that Xavier Bautista is the one who didn’t make it.
