Who was the gunman's driver/ride to the PD to turn himself in for the outstanding warrant?
I believe there's a lot of unanswered questions about that night due to the simple fact both families were in shock from this random act of violence in the quiet city of Kannapolis NC. If there's evidence of any kind, why wouldn't the PD have done further questioning/investigation regarding this senseless crime that left two local men dead on the cold night of December 31,1993?
