The BBC article makes it seem like he's unrelated to any criminals, and was a victim of a shooting. It seems that he was the victim of a shooting, but that he was associated with a criminal, and a newspaper reported that when they reported the shooting, and a website covered that report.

So it's not malicious people creating false stories that have no basis; and the "link" between him and crime isn't something accidentally falling out of Google algorithms. Someone put it in print; a website covered it; Google indexed it; I think the guy then got the newspaper to take their page down, and got the site to take their page down, and then made a mistake when he asked Google to remove their pages?
