  1. Y’all’s report is full of false information. He never left his front porch. The Uber eats driver followed my brother to his home and got out of his vehicle and started the altercation after the Uber eats driver was dumping trash out of his car window in the neighborhood! My brother was protecting his wife his son and my kid (his nephew). This is what’s wrong with news sources. Why don’t you share both sides of the story. Everyone is just slandering my brother just FYI! Why didn’t the police go in and check on the kids???? My son had no clue any of this even happened. If he was in danger of anything why didn’t they check on him!!!???
