Ed, I was not far away from the little girl that got killed, Tamrah. My question to the newspaper is why did you put the story about the guy that was killed the day after her on the same page as the story about her? What does that have to do with her? There is no way this guy should be in the same newspaper as her. This guy was found dead with a gun. She was an innocent victim. Why is his story above hers? His story shouldn’t even be in the paper. Her story deserves to have a page of her own. It hurt the whole city of Trenton. She was one of us. The guy with the gun was one of them.

In a city plagued by gang violence, the placement of the story about a slain gangster near the story about a girl killed by gangsters made sense to us. But it was in no way intended to imply that the victims had anything in common. —Ed. Note
