Police shared how seeing McDaniel brought back raw pain, especially to Misha Sistrunk, whose pregnant daughter Angelia Webster and Websters. Partner Christian Norris, were gunned down in a car. Sistrunk called it a step back their ripped open old wounds, stressing her daughter and the unborn boy they planned to name. Seven never got their shot at. Life.
