This is hard to talk about, but...

    Got a call from the mother of one of my patients yesterday, telling me that her son had been killed on Sunday afternoon in Denver.

    47 year old graduate of the University of Wisconsin.  Good guy.  A gentle soul-- intellectual, writer, world traveller, sort of Bohemian, etc.

     I had seen him in the office last week, and he was scheduled to see me again this afternoon.

     I called his mother this morning to find out what happened.  A shocker.

     He was walking home from a grocery story in his trendy north Denver neighborhood on Sunday afternoon.  He was shot two or three times at point-blank range, including a final execution-style bullet in the back of the head.

     The police have not released details to the press, but they think it may have been a random gang-initiation  type murder.

      Nicest guy in the world.

      WTF?

Wow...sad story. WTF indeed. His family must be devastated. Did he have a wife? Kids?

He must have been walking in a gun-free zone.

More importantly, did he work on the Hillary For President campaign? This fits the pattern.

Never married and no kids.  Extremely bright guy who dropped out of law school after college in Madison and became a kind of beatnik poet in L.A., then Denver.

As I told his mother today, he was the last guy on the planet anyone would want to kill.

It makes no sense at all.

Careful, you'll get accused of having no feelings.
Funny --------   Traitor Willie and the rest of the lieberals here don't give a flying fluke about the ghetto negroes who kill each other in epidemic proportions.

Well, Dr. Nie der hut now has one less Medicaid patient he can double-bill for profit. No wonder he's upset.

Hmmm...I wonder how many other people 'the good doctor' has f**ked up so badly that other people decided to execute them...they should go for the source.

I had that same thought.  He has one less patient victim to take advantage of.

Yes, but it should be to the face, not the back of the head.

Sad. Gotta be difficult for you as well. No smarmy comments necessary or appropriate.

I never go to the Highlands neighborhood, but it's supposed to be a trendy place these days-- "re-gentrified" by a lot of younger people who work downtown and commute from the west side (across I-25 from Lo Do.)

The DPD told Brad's mother that it looked like an execution style murder, with a final gun shot in the back of the head.  He was not robbed, and there was no evidence of a fight/scuffle.

He was not a gambler, violent, or involved with any crime, etc.

So, it appears to be random, inexplicable murder.

Won't matter to the mom or you as dead is dead but they'll sort it out. TV station said several shots fired, enough to scare the crap out of someone to drive into a store front. 

Shooting was actually a bit South & West of Highlands, almost due W of Mile high, near Sloan's Lake in the W Colax neighborhood. I'll assume you can go from OK to deep shit pretty quick. W Colfax is considered a top ten dangerous Denver neighborhood.
