Miles leaves behind two children and a number of heartbroken relatives. Police have spent hours going through surveillance video. So far, no arrests.

(26,467 posts)years ago here. A woman went to confront people over her daughter being bullied. she ended up being beaten to death in the middle of the street, in broad daylight, by a mob of a few dozen people (while her daughter watched on in horror), and witnessed by many more.
amazingly, despite dozens of witnesses saw this beating, in broad daylight, the police could not find a single witness to this horrible murder. not one. they were on TV begging for witnesses to step forward; none did.
