McDaniel Watson was taken to UAB Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. He still had his wallet, and a small Bible he always carried in his pocket.

It's sad but the guy's own adoption is a hopeful story. The assailant had apparently asked for the wallet. He was determined to get what he wanted right away or kill. Losing an only adopted son who was so well loved by the mother must be some of the worst pain people can endure.

He might have got shot even if he gave him the wallet, but yeah, he should have handed it to him and maybe the guy would have left him unharmed.

I think I agree with you on the wallet, but it doesn't take away from his personality at all. He apparently wasn't easily cowed by a gun toting thug that day. All around his life is an intriguing story with a lot of unpredictable twists and turns. Makes for an interesting study in love and loss. It sounds like his old adopted mother has no regrets. She's at least half the story right there.
