TWO MURDERED IN WEEKEND OF VIOLENCE • A woman in Fox Hill killed by a man believed to be known to her • Father of two murdered on his family’s doorstep just three days after his birthday By LYNAIRE MUNNINGS and EARYEL BOWLEG Tribune Staff Reporters TWO unrelated killings hours apart on Saturday — one on a family doorstep, the other near a woman’s home — have left relatives grappling with how routine moments turned deadly and, in one case, raising fresh concerns about violence linked to past relationships. Kenric Strachan, 24, was shot and killed outside his home on Mekel Close South while retrieving baby items from a vehicle. Hours later, Jenetta Thompson was fatally shot after being called over by a man believed to be known to her. Strachan had celebrated his birthday just three days earlier.

His sister, Dakenya Lightbourne, said the shooting happened within seconds as he tried to get back inside.
