Shooting of Trayvon Martin → Killing of Trayvon Martin – As between "shooting of Trayvon Martin" and "killing of Trayvon Martin", there is no single WP:COMMONNAME, as both are commonly used (NGrams, GScholar "killing", GScholar "shooting"). When there is no clear COMMONNAME, WP:DEATHS indicates that "killing" should be used for a homicide (such as this topic). Anyway, if there is a COMMONNAME, it's "killing", which is more prevalent than "shooting" per the aforementioned NGrams and Google Scholar hits. Levivich 17:31, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Support per WP:DEATHS. Rublov (talk) 17:42, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
Support. I agree with the assessment that there is no WP:COMMONNAME, and so the convention of WP:DEATHS should apply. Adumbrativus (talk) 05:36, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Killing of Eurie Martin

I encourage your help on a new article I posted. PaulinSaudi (talk) 09:30, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Curfew

Originally reports stated at the time of the incident there was a curfew in place. Why is there no longer any mention of this curfew in any of the reports? 100.34.146.90 (talk) 00:56, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

incorrect text

at the end of the article at "see also" there is a list of links. The link:

"Killing of Sara-Nicole Morales, 2021 Florida case where no charges were filed against a motorcyclist who fatally shot a pregnant woman on her front lawn after she deliberately struck his motorcycle with hercar, since she was waving a gun at him at the time."

states that she was pregnant. That's obviously not true. See the wiki post: "Killing of Sara-Nicole Morales". There it says: Police also determined that the woman was not pregnant after an autopsy was performed. [3 and adds the resource #3
