Until We Meet Again, Beloved Son

Richard was 16 years old, and worked for a local steak house. One rainy evening, Wayne offered to give a co-worker, Delma Banks, Jr., a ride home. They stopped at a local park, and Banks shot Wayne . Banks stole his Mustang car, and left Wayne dying in the rain. Banks was sentenced to death.
