I was 1 of Donta homegirls from skool n he was real cool to b wit.................................I went to the funeral and the repast n it was a sad sight to see my homebot n a casket...................................now thats just messed up...unto this day i still cry n rememmber the old days.........I MISS U DT

May the lord be with Donta's famiy i attended the funera and me and my sister are friends of his brothers, and sisters. We pray that whoever commited this terrible crime pays for what they did. No one that shoots a fifteen year old boy should be able to sleep at night and if the person can he is a cold blooded murderer. We as well as the victim's family hope that someone takes the initiative to find out who did it instead of letting things go for years and years while the person is still on the loose living their life and Donta and innocent bystandard is resting in peace.

Does anybody care about these kids anymore. Why as parents are we alowing our kids to be out and about and not knowing what they are doing or who they are with. I grew up in the NG and all I see is a whole bunch of youngsters sitting out everyday doing nothing. These are the main ones doing all this killin. How can we blame them its not there fault. The community needs to have more activities for these kids that are sitting around to do.

So sorry for the loss of this young child, I know the Lord will seek justice for you too young to go have not began to live life. May the lord give your Family peace and strength Rest in Peace to you. God wil take care of you and your Family. May Blessings!
