Ricardo?

"Alexis later spent the evening with Ricardo, and they made plans to watch movies that Saturday while laughing and playing games." This is the first mention of the name "Ricardo" in the article and the only other mention is of a detective with that first name. Is there something missing? Or is this a mistake? Or vandalism? --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 23:20, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the same thing. Tagging the article. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:40, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I checked a few of the sources and can't find anything about these plans, but did find references to a friend named Tanya Ricardo. Pinging @Bsoyka: for possible clarification as they are the primary author of this article. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 18:35, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Murder of > Killing of?

Should this be at Killing of, since we don't have a murder conviction? Valereee (talk) 15:43, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Valereee: I am unsure of the title protocol here and I may need to read MOS:ARTICLETITLE more carefully. But I copyedited and reviewed for DYK, if you have time can you look over my edits? Bruxton (talk) 17:03, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with OP on title proposal. While it's been confirmed the death is a homicide, the fact that this was a murder remains to be seen. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 13:56, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
