During the early morning hours of a Summer day in Charleston, South Carolina, police were called after a shooting where a 24 year old man had been shot twice in what was later deemed as a random act of violence.

A few months later, also in the early morning hours, police responded to a shooting in Raleigh, North Carolina where a 24 year old man had been shot twice in what was later deemed as a random act of violence.
