Likely still investigating what level of murder they want to go with, or some other details. First degree, second degree, etc

Another victim of the healthcare grift.

>Lo did not have previous criminal charges against him, but a troubled family history. His brother was murdered last year, and Lo condemned the “senseless act of violence” when he launched a GoFundMe donation campaign...

A few months later, in August, he reportedly again asked for donations, this time for his mother who had attempted suicide and needed hospitalization for a month.
