it has to be somebody around that knows exactly what went on in that home with marco gilmore and that person ought to atleast come forward and help us with a starting point honestly i feel like whoever was in that home with marco knew that he was about to get killed that's why he sat back and let marco gilmore answer the door when i normally go visit marco he nevers answer his door it always be a friend that answers his door and another thing for the shooter to not ask for any name just starting shooting soon as the door opens oh yes i really think that person had something to do with it because if i'm in a home with my friend and he/she answer a unknown knock and shooting starts and i don't get shot u best to believe i'm gonna be somewhere hiding and calling the police at the same time instead of letting my helpless friend lay here in pain maybe if these steps were followed we wouldn't be having a funeral today his LIFE could have been saved but trust me if noone come forward with information it will ride they back throughout they life have they thought about MARCO GILMORE was somebody's FATHER BROTHER UNCLE COUSIN NEPHEW and he was not a troubled person and also i feel like it must been some kind of lead to his death in the home for someone to come later after his death and burn his house down what is wrong with MEMPHIS.IT'S SAD

it is a crying shame when it has come to this but when I am not expecting anyone I don't answer my door unless I have a gun in hand.
