Fifty-eight-year-old Lincoln Erskine was stabbed to death inside this wooden building after bringing to his family’s attention that he was having issues with several persons living nearby. Those problems, according to his sister, arose from access to his electricity.

“From what I understand, he had an altercation with some people from his neighborhood and it’s because of an ongoing thing with a post that belonged to him and they asked him if they could get electricity and he told them no.”
