Probably largely random. But beyond that, they sound like the diametric opposite of upstanding and boring citizens, so not really that surprising?

What from the article suggests that they are or aren't "upstanding and boring citizens", so what is the basis for your comment?

> Deandre Joshua’s body was found inside a burned car blocks from the protest. The 20-year-old was shot in the head before the car was torched.

> Darren Seals, shown on video comforting Brown’s mother that same night, met an almost identical fate two years later. The 29-year-old’s bullet-riddled body was found inside a burning car in September 2016.

How is that "random"?
