Jordan Davis’s Killer Has Officially Been Charged With First Degree Murder
So, it’s official, Michael Dunn has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of Jordan Davis. This nonsense just needs to stop. Initially Dunn was arrested and charged with second degree murder. He pled not guilty and sat in prison waiting for his arraignment. Due to the NEW charges he has another arraignment, which is dated for December 17th. Such an advocate for ‘Justice for Jordan’ especially since I blast #MY music all the time (in a respectable manner of course). Stop the violence and drop down bottom for more. JaaiR (JR)
