More background: Donald Young

From the Chicago Sun-Times:

SOUTH SIDE Deacon at Trinity United Church of Christ found shot multiple times in his home on Sunday

SUN-TIMES STAFF REPORTS

Chicago Police were searching for answers Tuesday about who shot and killed a beloved choir director and teacher in his South Side home.

Meanwhile, funeral arrangements were set for Donald Young, who for two decades directed the choir at Trinity United Church of Christ, a high-profile African-American church.

Donald Young, Choir Director of Trinity United Church, was found murdered.

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama attends the church, at 400 W. 95th St. in the Brainerd community.

Young, 47, also a deacon at Trinity, was found -- shot in the head -- by his roommate Sunday morning, Chicago Police said.

He suffered several gunshot wounds, according to authorities.

When Young's roommate came home about 7:30 a.m., he found the door to the apartment in the 2300 block of East 69th unlocked but closed, police said.

Christmas presents and some jewelry were missing from the apartment, but police have not yet settled on robbery as the motive.

The roommate is cooperating with investigators.

The popular Young also taught fourth grade at the Guggenheim Elementary School, 7141 S. Morgan.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., longtime pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, said Young "lived and breathed music."

A viewing of Young's body will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday at the church.

A private wake and funeral is scheduled following the viewing.

So who is donald young? From the above article we can establish the following:

1. He was employed as choir director at TUCC

2. He was murdered on Christmas eve

3. He died from several gunshot wounds, at least one to his head

4. Several items were stolen.

5. His roommate found him the next morning, which was a sunday

6. We can assume the church was first to know, as he obviously didn't show up for work.

What does this have to do with larry Sinclair? Well until recently, not much. But Larry has claimed that he was indeed in contact with Mr Young. He claims that young was having a relationship with Mr Obama and was killed in order to keep the story quiet. Larry claims that Mr Obama and Mr Wright were involved in Mr Young's murder.

So Larry's allegations stand as so:

Barack Obama is a homosexual

Barack Obama smokes crack

Barack Obama was with Larry on the nights of November 6 and November 7th 1999

Barack Obama and Larry were both at a bar called "alibis" the night of November 6th

Barack Obama is either a murderer or involved in murder

Reverend Jeremiah wright is involved in murder
