The victim's name is Jesus Morfinez. Someone shot him. Therefore, it's completely correct to say:

Someone shot Jesus.

Why would that get censored? :-P

Give them your truck? Seriously, if you don't have a felony conviction or a domestic violence conviction, get your ccw permit instead. There were multiple shootings and stabbings over the weekend, and it's only gonna get worse as the weather warms up.

When I'm in my yard, I don't carry my truck keys on me, maybe he didn't have his with him. Are you going to let armed people into your house where you might have family who could get hurt?

they shot the dude, but then didnt take his truck. strange.

Dude, give them your truck next time!
