The article said that the preachers often had trouble with the law in their younger days. It could be that they were shot because of it. Any number of inferences can be gleaned from this article, but that doesn't mean that they were killed because of the gospel. It could be that they were.

The article says one of the three men had been arrested when he was a teenager, 7 years ago. The other two came from rough upbringings. So to infer that in their 20s, they had a problem with the 18 year old killer over a criminal issue does not seem to hold water. Furthermore, there is no need for inference when the third preacher gave a first-hand account of what happened.

Additionally, the assailant turned himself into police, which is hardly the actions of someone with a long standing "beef" or "rivalry." Certainly we will see what the criminal investigation and trial brings but there is no doubt that these two saints were killed "in the line of duty."

Thanks for the comments everyone. It is much appreciated.

I believe this article will clear up that the men were indeed mentioned for their Christian witness. I will be sure to add the comments to my article so it's clear what the motivation was. Thanks again! God bless.

Boynton street preachers were killed for religious beliefs, reverend says - Sun Sentinel
It is truly unfortunate that they were killed but evangelists have paid this price since the beginning of the Church. They belong to God now.
