A family is sharing their heartbreak this Memorial Day weekend after their loved one was shot and killed in the city's Lakeview neighborhood.
William Hair, 34 was shot to death at around 2:14 a.m. Sunday in the 500 block of West Surf Street. Hair was found on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to his chest and later taken to a nearby hospital where he died, police said.
"Three blocks from his house, a car pulled up. Two people came out. There were two gunshots, one from each person," his brother, Matthew Hair, said. "They did not ask for money. They did not ask for anything. They shot at him for no reason."
Matthew described his brother as a very gentle and caring person who was very friendly, very talkative and a great listener.
