It has been brought to my attention that the same guy charged with committing the robbery and murder at the Shell gas station was suspected of robbing one of my employees.
We have an ice cream truck business, and in summer 2006, an employee was robbed.
The suspect was identified by a witness who even provided the perpetrators’ name. The Statesville police responded but no charges were ever filed.
Crime starts somewhere, and if this incident had been taken more seriously by the police department, maybe two people would still be alive. I know the police department does what it can, but they need to realize that a criminal starts somewhere, and they need to take each and every crime, whether it’s petty or not, seriously.
Once a criminal gets away with something little like robbing the ice cream man, he begins to wonder “What else can I get away with?”

It seems when some type of horrible crime happens, there is always someone standing by to start laying blame.(usually on the shoulders of Law Enforcement). No one, including Mr. Gamez can predict how someone will turn out, prior arrests or not. All we can do is hope for the best. Right now people should be praying for the loved ones of those lost to such events.
I agree with the article about pointing blame. For instance, I hope the law officers remember that one child did this crime and not all african american males. It seems like every time something of this nature happens black on white crime the other minority males pay as well. The community needs to focus on the healing process of these families. I'm standing up for the minorities that didn't have anything to do with this crime, but they will face these officers in the near future and will be treated as if they did the crime as well.
