    Still it has been a year and the detectives still don’t know anything. Murder in the U.S. must not be important to anyone no more unless your wealthy. I’m the little brother of Willie Elliott III. I wonder if my brother was famous this case would have been open and close, but since it involve a black man the first suggestion is gangs, drugs, etc.
