M. Last wednesday Carlos Earl Clayton was gunned down on the side of cooper lane police say. Theyre trying to figure out why. Our detectives have leads but nothing substantial that would lead to an arrest. Reporter claytons family and friends believe he was just walking home. He would not have hurt anyone. Thats why i dont understand why someone can just come and take his life away from us. Reporter tonight all along cooper lane there were people who say they knew clayton and theyre devastated. Hes the one that said all the prayers, you know, the grace and were going to miss that. Reporter all of that pain is peppered with questions for people who might have information and for the police who were at the scene.

No one has explained to me why. Reporter but right now their main concern is seeing an arrest.

Bernie sanders reporter senator Bernie Sanders struck a familiar chord tonight in front of thousands of supporters who gathered to hear and repeat his progressive prescriptions for the country. The only way we win is when tens of millions of americans stand up and say loudly and clearly enough is enough [ cheering and applause ] reporter the vermont senator worked his way through a laundry list of major liberal issues standing up for the environment and against more war, but most of all he focused snappily on economic inequality. I am send sharply on economic inequality. I am sending a very simple straightforward message to the billionaire class and that is you cannot have it all. [ cheering and applause ] reporter this is the kind of excitement that senator sanders was able to generate here in manassas tonight, but he will need more than the loyal grassroots to win in virginia. Thats why this morning sanders campaigned before a decidedly less friendly crowd, students at the evangelical Liberty University in lynchburg, virginia. It is important to see where, if possible, and i do leave its possible, we can find common ground. Reporter recent polls show sanders beating Hillary Clinton in the early nominating states of iowa and New Hampshire both voting in february. Virginias primary will be held march 1st. Nationally clinton still leads, but a New Washington post abc news poll shows sanders siphoning off the women voters clinton needs, a phenomenon on display in manassas tonight with women and men. Im more in line with what bernie is doing and where he stands. Id still vote for hillary if she was a candidate, but id rather see the party pull a little further to the limit. Reporter sanders spoke left. Reporter sanders spoke more than an hour tonight and ended with a call for action to his supporters and said it wasnt a utopian idea to believe, that his policies can win in virginia and nationwide.
