This is such a sad story"It is an awful story," said Alberta Holt, the young Marine's aunt.
Crutchfield was attacked Jan. 5 while he and his girlfriend were waiting for a bus. He had heeded the commanders' warnings that a Marine on leave might be seen as a robbery target with a pocketful of money, so he carried only $8, his military identification card and a bank card.
"They took it, turned his pockets inside out, took what he had, and told him since he was a Marine and didn't have any money, he didn't deserve to live. They put the gun to his neck and shot him," Holt said.
Prayers for the family of the late Lance Cpl. Robert Crutchfield and his girlfriend.
