Two daughters of the Ohio man whose random killing last week was captured in a Facebook video met earlier this week with Joy Lane, the woman whose name their dad was ordered to utter moments before he was killed.
According to Fox 8 in Cleveland, the meeting between Lane — murder suspect Steve Stephens’ ex-girlfriend — and victim Robert Godwin Sr.’s daughters Debbie Godwin and Tonya Godwin-Baines was therapeutic for all three, whose lives have been rocked by the recent violence.
Robert, 74, was walking down a Cleveland street on Easter Sunday when authorities say he was gunned down by Stephens in broad daylight.
