"The only thing I hope is that the young man made it to heaven"
Section: Community
Nell Darensburg
Henry Butler IV was found shot to death in the 1900 block of Foucher St. The young victim died from a single gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead on the scene. Mr. Butler is the 15th homicide victim in the city this month. "The only thing I hope is that the young man made it to heaven" was voiced by one of the resident in the neighborhood. I can only agree, because of the senseless killing that is taking place on a daily basis. Please read the entire story.
