Steller: Resorting to vigilantism makes bad situations worse

[Ptah]

On Tuesday, I walked and jogged the route that Gerald Ramon took before he was killed Sunday afternoon

Ramon, as you may know, apparently stole two cases of Budweiser from a Circle K on the southeast corner of West Grant Road and North Oracle Road. Some witnesses followed him, including a man on a bicycle who pursued him across both of those busy streets and a few doors down Grant before Ramon allegedly picked up a piece of wood, turned and advanced on the man. The witness responded by shooting him dead.

It took me 2 minutes, 40 seconds to walk the route fast between the Circle K and the site of the shooting. It took me 1 minute and 50 seconds to jog the route.

So, we can conclude that the man who ended up shooting Ramon probably followed him for about 2 minutes after he left the Circle K with stolen beer in hand. Police have not released the identity of the shooter, citing the fact that he has not been charged with a crime.
