True crime documentary series Payback released an episode earlier this month about the 2016 murders of Saquan Hall and Pierre Clark.
On June 8, Clark — recently released from jail and set on turning his life around — was shot and killed on the 1000 block of Montgomery Street. The word on the street was that the killer was one of his enemies, Saquan Hall, a man Pierre Clark had allegedly previously non-fatally shot.
The murder was still under investigation when, on July 2, Hall was shot and killed on the 1000 block of First Street by Dijuan Clark, Pierre Clark’s brother. Dijuan Clark was ultimately sentenced to 31 years in prison.
The documentary interviews police, prosecutors, ALXnow reporter Vernon Miles, and members of Hall’s family who described the cycle of revenge that led up to the murders.

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
Plus, when you buy a gift certificate from Well-Paid Maids, you’re supporting a living-wage cleaning company. That means cleaners get paid a starting wage of $24 an hour and get access to benefits, like 24 days of PTO and health insurance.
