From the Paper:

"Within a local neighborhood there has been a failure to communicate which resulted in more than words being flung or fists thrown. As a result of a drive-by shooting, a young man is dead, with the witnesses, and potential suspects although innocent until proven guilty as our law guarantees, are the source of data, the knowledge, necessary to reconstruct the crime and figure out the culprit. Prior to exiting my cruiser, I observe the body of the young man, face down, with the entry of the bullet wound being curiously in the center of the top of his head, something which will come into play later."
