Just FYI, in legal terms we use “plead guilty,” not “pleaded guilty.” You enter a plea, or you plead to a charge. 2601:540:C180:DB65:2CC8:7FBA:E4D3:8914 ( talk) 02:00, 6 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I would respectfully suggest that this is not nearly as cut and dry as you present; it depends largely on local legal norms, I have found. Grammerly [1] has what I would consider a good and concise discussion of the issue. Cheers. Dumuzid ( talk) 02:18, 6 March 2024 (UTC) reply

First victim shot was a white female. 2600:4808:711:EA00:80A1:B827:2516:6A6B ( talk) 22:49, 25 May 2024 (UTC) reply

The article makes it clear that two of the individuals injured were not black (though all of the individuals shot fatally were black and that the perpetrator had targeted black individuals). Is there something specific in the article that you see that is inaccurate that should be changed? Thanks, Aoi (青い) ( talk) 23:21, 25 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Roberta Drury was white. 2600:4808:711:EA00:80A1:B827:2516:6A6B ( talk) 00:38, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Google “Roberta Drury Family”. Click images. Look at the images of her entire family in one picture. They are white. She was white. Don’t let the narrative get in the way of facts. She deserves to be represented properly. 2600:4808:711:EA00:80A1:B827:2516:6A6B ( talk) 01:41, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Your perception of someone's race based on a Google image search is not a reliable source. See WP:RS. Aoi (青い) ( talk) 02:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply
