A word of advice to all the criminals that make up the seedy underbelly of our readership: VIP areas at NBA games, even in Charlotte, do not make the best hideouts for those on the run from murder charges. Just ask Earle Barranco, who likely spent the last moments of his freedom watching DeSagna Diop and Nazr Mohammed ply their trade.
