I saw this terrible story circulating on Twitter because I am a big Tottenham fan like the victim. Turns out he was a huge Pearl Jam fan too. It’s one of the three things his girlfriend mentions that he loved. 

Brenton McCaskill was killed in a random home invasion protecting his girlfriend and her two children.
