(Updated) The conflict that led to the killing of Daily Jackson may have stemmed, in part, from a gun allegedly stolen from the murder suspect by Uzziah Shell, a friend of Jackson’s who was killed in a separate shooting two weeks earlier.

When Aman Agwal sleeps, his brother Priyanshu visits him in his dreams. Sometimes, he rides a scooter, the exact one that he was riding when he was struck and killed by a car — during a hit and run that, a year later, has resulted in an arrest.
“Sometimes he comes in my dream, and he just plays on his scooter,” Aman said during a Monday morning press conference at police headquarters. “I wish I could do something.”

It can learn much from New Jersey’s bail reform program implemented in January 2017 after years of careful study and bipartisan negotiation.
