Was she targeted because she's a republican? Or both? Or something else?

Regardless, I hope they catch the murderer, charge, convict and send away for the rest of their miserable life.

The article says she worked for a Nigerian church. So there is that angle for authorities to investigate.

The release says she was the “intended target.” I’m guessing this wasn’t about politics.

America has become a country where people get murdered outside their homes

No mention of motive yet

'The fact that she was taken from us by a despicable criminal act makes this incident all the more horrifying.'

The mayor said that she believes that law enforcement 'will bring this fast-moving investigation to a quick and successful conclusion and look forward to the identification, arrest, and successful prosecution of the person responsible.'

you don't know if it was a "gangland style political assassination". It may have been personal or even random.

That's the date when civil rights leader Medgar Evans was shot in front of his house by rifle with a bullet to the heart. He somehow managed to get on his feet and walk thirty feet toward his front door before collapsing again.

Byron de la Beckwith was not successfully tried until 1994; an all-white jury had deadlocked over the trial in 1963. Beckwith died in prison at age 80.

Just a little bit of history offered here to show that the US has endured this kind of violence for a very long time.

For Tucker to explain this “Antifa” assassination. MAGA’s are sick of elected blacks for mascots in the repug KKKlan.
This country is diseased with hate and they got the guns to act in it.

He will have this whipped up into some nationwide nigerian terrorist cell of antifa...... He will call for a second amendment solution before they can kill any more god fearing republicans....

Hell, that isn't true. we all know he will never be done.

Hmm, just realized the math here. Republicans are god fearing. Republicans are afraid of black people. Therefore, Black people are god.

Pretty sure that's the highest statistical probability anyway.

She was so beautiful and young ... very sad.

So they have a suspect in custody and evidence to support their theory? Nah, just more gaslighting from the wait until all of the evidence is in crowd.
