Gun from Chicago buy-back program found near dead gang member in police shooting
Chicago, Illinois- According to an AGG report, William Stewart Boyd traded his father’s old .38 caliber Smith & Wesson snub nose for less than $100 in a gun buyback in 2004. It was supposed to be destroyed, but somehow the same handgun with serial number J515268 was found next to a dead body involved in a police shooting eight years later.
So, did the cop at the buy-back think that it would make a good throw-down weapon, pocket it, and leave it next to the body after an unjustified shooting?
Or did he just sell it?
Reasonable doubt, anyone?
