And by Saturday night, police sirens would be wailing again for another murder. This time the victim was 42 year old Marvin Flowers. Close to midnight he was walking along Jasmine Street where his sister lives, when a man pulled up on bike and shot him multiple times. The shooter fled the scene, and Flowers was rushed to the KHMH where he succumbed to his injuries two hours later. His family declined comment, but we spoke to his close friend and neighbor, who gave us a little more insight into what happened...
