6'1"...hmmm...he can probably run pretty fast...have to lead him a little more when you shoot him in the head...well depends on how close you are...center mass will do the trick...i recommend at least three shots...wouldn't want this thug to suffer

Nice mugshot. This obviously is not his first foray into crime. Maybe a dutiful citizen with a concealed carry permit will cross his path.
