Ryan Francis was killed yesterday while in Louisiana visiting his mother. Was this a gang thing? He was the BMOC at his high school in Baton Rouge. Is this as big as the Duke scandal?

Sad story. From all accounts, he was a good guy who made an impact at USC. By reading all the stories on the story, it appears that he was the only one targeted. He was sitting in the back of the car and the one who appeared to be aimed at.
