SAGINAW (WWJ/AP) – A man whose drug-related prison sentence was commuted in November by President Barack Obama has been fatally shot at a federal halfway house in Michigan after two men with assault-style rifles sought him out, police said.

Two men wearing masks went into Bannum Place in Saginaw on Monday night with plans to kill 31-year-old Damarlon Thomas, a former Saginaw gang member. Lt. David Kaiser said Thomas was shot several times by one of the men as some of the roughly two dozen people at the home were held at gunpoint.

“One person watched over a group of them while another subject located the victim and executed him,” Kaiser told The Saginaw News. “They were looking for this person.”

Perhaps Damarlon Thomas was safer in prison than outside of prison.

What are the odds that he had went right back to dealing drugs?

I think that he had a gang contract on his head when he went to prison, and someone knew where he would be. :whistling:

It's nearly 24 hours after the murder, and none of the news articles I saw - several - described the killers, at all. Despite asking people "with information" to contact police. I suspect the killers are not Trump hit-men, as some DU-folk hope, IYKWIM.
