No one should have been shot and killed period. But unfortunately the 32 yr old Shecarius Cochran was dead when WFPD arrived at the after hours bar The Back End at 4:02 am.

Police arrested 18 year old Ray Kelley Jr for murder & he's held on a $1 million dollar bond charged with murder.

I typed in Cochran's name in Google and was astonished to see the headline making multiple times he had been arrested in our city previous to his murder.

I also looked up the Odyssey Portal site and read several probable cause affidavit's describing the reasons he had been arrested and sentenced to either state jail or TDCJ. He had a history of being belligerently drunk, DUI, possession of cocaine, felon in possession of a firearm just to name a few arrests and convictions for him.

I've seen a bystanders cellphone video of the chaos that happened in the Back End parking lot when the after hours establishment closed at 4am.

The 18 year old Ray Kelley Jr does not have an arrest record or did not prior to the murder charge.

In the bystanders cellphone video all you see is about 25-35 black males having a free for all fights. There is one young man who is beaten unconscious, lying face down out cold. Another black male stradles him and proceeds to pummel TF out of the defenseless man in the sides of his head a sickening amount of times. When bystanders tell the attacker that's good, that's enough, stop it, leave it alone the attacker stops beating the unconscious male in the head and ears but then begins kicking the guy in the ribs , stomping on his back and what appears to me to be an attempt to kill the guy. He is not the shooter nor the murder victim. He was taken by ambulance to United Regional where he was placed in ICU critically wounded.

It appears to me on the video that a group of older men started the whole thing by attacking the young men who came in one car and we're all friends. According to the crimes against persons detectives that investigated the scene that the deceased was witnessed running to the passenger side of the maroon Toyota he arrived in. In my opinion he was going for a handgun to shoot others.

In all honesty, it is a disgusting video to watch and listen to. It was all out chaos with everyone fighting. I have followed the crimes committed against Victoria Lang at the McDonald's and have seen the community rally together in justice for her.

All I saw on video of the Back End was black male on black male violent fighting. It is a shame. There are no white cops or people involved in what men of the same race did to one another. And now on social media all you see are black people attacking other black people arguing who was wrong and who was defending himself.

It saddens me to see the black community so divided and fighting each other physically and talking spit to each other online. I've never witnessed such a huge divide between people of the race.

Someone asked where Crystal Washington was and why she was not advocating front and center for her African American brothers like she has every other time a person of color is hurt or treated unjustly like she is known for.

Why do you think she's not speaking out loud and advocating for her fellow people this time?

The Wichita Falls Texas Police Department has released the body camera footage of former police officer Wilson who has been fired and has an indictment filed against him by the grand jury.

It's on YouTube under the City of Wichita Falls page.

There's also footage released from when Ms Lang is being booked into the Wichita County Law Enforcement Center - Wichita County Jail.

I would like to have a discussion on others thoughts and feelings concerning the entire incident. From here traveling or being dropped off in a county she didn't live in and the waiting for Midwestern State University to get her on campus dorm paperwork finalized.

I'm curious, on my hometown's mugshots group so many people comment AI under some of the mugshots. I don't think that's true. Do you know if those who comment AI are serious or being silly?
