Friends and family in Baltimore are mourning the death of Tyrique Hudson, a 22-year-old software engineer who was gunned down by his white neighbour while leaving for work this month. Hudson, who had just earned a computer science degree at North Carolina A&T University, had moved to his apartment complex outside of Baltimore to start his software engineer job at Northrop Grumman. The 22-year-old had tried to obtain a protective order against his 53-year-old white neighbour this February after the two had a confrontation, but a judge denied his request on claims that he did not provide enough proof, CBS Baltimore reported. On April 15, Hudson was shot and killed in front of two witnesses in the stairwell of the complex while leaving for work. The neighbour, 53-year-old James Verombeck, has been charged with first-degree murder. Hudson’s family are currently seeking answers to the death of their son, which has made headlines. His mother, Tonya Burch, said the 22-year-old had begun a promising career and had just found a new apartment to move into when the incident happened. “He was getting his mind set to move because he was fearful,” Burch said. “He’s never had any confrontations or any fights. “Nobody has ever had to come say, ‘Oh your son did this to me or your son did that to me.’ He was just overall a very gifted, unique child.” After the shooting, the suspect, who reportedly suffers from schizophrenia, locked himself inside his apartment for 10 hours until a SWAT team broke down the door and detained him, reported the Capital Gazette. In his request for legal protection this February, Hudson described his first encounter with Verombeck. He said around 10 a.m. February 16, he was taking his trash out and stepped into the hallway, where he was met by Verombeck. “You knew this day was coming,” Verombeck told him, according to Hudson’s account as reported by the Sun. “You know what you did.” https://face2faceafrica.com/article/baltimore-man-killed-by-white-neighbour-after-court-denies-him-protective-order #tyriquehudson #baltimore #bmore #wonderwombman #blacklivesmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_N6hsAudX/?igshid=19b48bgz2v3u5
