I used to work at master pawn for Darrel…
He helped a lot of people and for him to be murdered that way made me sick….
I hope this murdering bastard gets the worst STDs that AZDOC has to offer and he suffers horribly when they finally send him to hell…..
He took a Vietnam veteran and community helper for what???
Money???
Darrel has been gone for 18 years…YEARS!!!
And we still pay taxes to keep this thing alive…
Where’s the JUSTICE???????
Willeford and Manuel had a drug deal that he refused to pay Manuel. Kingpin was gonna kill Manuel anyway because of the amount. Sorry, but Willeford was a drug dealer. He went to hell first.
Lakiesha, could you please give me a way to reach out to you?
