The sad thing about this situation is we know who ever did this horrendous act will probably never get caught. It's like a slap to the face that you know such a situation can occur infront of your house. It is sad to know my family has to go through such a horrible pain, a pain that was created by a heartless individual full of hate. Not sure if this was gang related or not, (even then we do not know the details to that), but the point of the matter is we are not even safe at our own homes. Parents work hard to raise their children, ensure the safety of their children, and to create a bright future for their families. Yet, when a situation like this one occurs it makes you think twice if you are even safe in your own home and communitiy. I just hope someday this individual will be caught and my family will get to know the reasons of WHY things were done, but even then, being realistic, especially in a city like Inglewood, hope doesn't even exist.

How horrible that we as human beings value other lives so little. Please if you are outthere commiting this horrendous crimes STOP and think what if this was your brother, sister etc. You are taking somebodys loved one away from them forever. How sad is that? I cannot imagine how you can look someone in the eyes and kill them what is your heart made of.
