Wow thats really sad:[ i cant even think on how her family took it when they told them

R.I.P girl

[CHAKA]

This is a prime example of why our young ladies need to grow up and know that becoming a parent takes a new attitude, environment, and friends . God bless your soul shanta and god bless the little one and have mercy on the accused.

[Linda]

Ladies, What a tragic tale of hate and jealousy. Look what has happened in a split second after making a bad choice, two lives destroyed, two families destroyed all over a boy who was probably somewhere with another girl. Please stop the violence. My sympathy to the families.

[dominique]

This is soo sad. May god help this family to find peace during this difficult time.
I don't know what its going to take for us as a people to wake up, whether black or white.
Here is another senceless murder......and for what? Wake up people, its not worth it...its so much more to life.

God Bless You, and may you and your unborn child rest in peace.

[Derrick]

This is truly a tragedy for her mother and I have great sympathy for her. She lost her daughter and grandchild for nothing. Another young woman will probably lose her leg. The suspect was not killed but probably will be lost in the prison system.

[Ghetto Mentality]

30 women, mostly adult women, black women, pregnant women, probation women, angry women, working women, loyal women, gang afflilated women, crying women, high school graduated women, women in love, handicapped women, stupid women and then there is one dead woman & one jailed woman. A mother and community are crying.

[Kev (Dahwe) Williams]

Well I am really having a hard time understanding how a pregnant, married, college student would agree to participate in a brawl. And why didnt anybody stop these girls from fighting, there was reportedly 200--300 onlookers, what is wrong with this picture. Everybody lost here, the pregnant college student, the one in jail,(she really aint gonna have no man now) the father of the innocent unborn child, and the lady who lost her leg. And everyone who did nothing to try and stop this tragedy you might as well as hit the accelerator yourselves. Now to all of the families affected here............you need Jesus he is the only hope and peace we can have today. My prayers are that you find strenght in this very very sad time.

[tae]

this is what happends when you in the streets gang banging while pregnant

[K.Winn]

All those women that attended this brawl should feel pretty silly right now..a young lady is dead; another one is in the hospital fighting for her life and another one is in jail. Where is the man they were fighting about..probably laid up in bed with someone else. The blood of all these women are on all those that attended this "gathering" and now you have to look yourself in the mirror and ask "was it worth it"? My heartfelt condolences to the family of the victims.

[G-TOWN Royalettez & Knightz]

We are very upset to hear that another one of our angels is gone, and another one is in jail. This is a sad situation that makes everyone be sad. A unborn child that never had the opportunity to live. A mother that never got a chance to be a mother and a young woman that will be enjoy her life either.

The family of all parties are in our prayers. One situation affect people all around.

Live life to the fulliest, because tomorrow isn't promised to no one......

[JAY]

MAN THIS IS CRAZY! SHANTE YOU WILL BE TRULY MISSED I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HER AND SHE WAS STILL A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE IM SORRY THAT IT HAD TO HAPPEN LIKE THIS I KNOW YOU WERE SO HAPPY TO BE A MOTHER BUT NOW YOU AND THE BABY ARE IN A BETTER PLACE PLEASE PEOPLE KNOW THAT SHE WAS ONE OF THE COOLEST PEOPLE ALWAYS CARRIED A SMILE ON HER SO IT WOULD BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE SHE WASN'T A BAD PERSON SHE WAS REALLY LOVED AND WE ALL MAKE BAD DECISIONS SOMETIMES AND REALLY THE ONES WE MAKE FOR PEOPLE WE LOVE!

R.I.P SHANTE

[J.P]

Isn't this the young gurl from the Documentary Movie 'Rize'? Very sad to see an event like this transpire. The report said mostly women in their 20's. This is really is something you would see on a highschool playground. These are adults carrying on... truly said. 2 Timothy 2:1-5 things like this are bound to keep happening, unless people make a conscientious decision about the way they are living.

[Dawn]

I have known Shontae since she was a little girl. I think that this was a horrible, senseless crime that just does not make any sense. All of this over a man who was probably not even thinking about either girl. I think she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And to think the family just returned back home from Louisana burying their grandfather. Life is just too short for such childishness. My thoughts and prayers go out to Shontae's mom Mildred, her grandmother and the rest of her family during this very difficult time. May her and her baby girl Rest In Peace.

The young lady who committed this crime has pretty much given up her life. And for what? Over a man. Much too sad. She hasn't even had a chance to live her life yet. Just sad.

[dorite]

my heart truely goes out to this young lady's family, thing is if it is the unique i knew in middle school, she was heading in this direction, always in trouble in school and her mother always backed up her wrong doing, ie. cussing out the principal and the campus security and the school police, another example on it starts at home, i told her mother that one day this girl is going to hurt you really bad, and my god here it is, just wish it was'nt this way, i pray for the family may the young lady and her baby rest in our savior's arms.

[KEEPITREAL]

I hope they put the woman who ran over this pregnant female under the jail and she never gets out. How do you kill a pregnant woman for God's sake? Why would you want to fight her? Now we are also talking about killing an innocent child also. I wonder how the father feels about all this and the problems he has caused. Now a mother has lost her child and grandchild and another mother has to deal with a child losing her leg because this female could not control herself. Such a tragedy all the way around and many lives are effected by some ignorance. What kind of mother raised this female to where she would have the mentality to get in a car and intentionally run over this female and disable another one? What is going on in our communities people? What is happening to Black America? Why all the hate and rage in our children against each other? Instead of being in a fight, they should have been at home reading a book, or somewhere looking for a job instead of being in a mob. Now we are terrorizing each other instead of coming together. Martin Luther King gave his life for this??? I'm ashamed that this even happened and greatly saddened. Wake up parents and teach your children respect for life and right from wrong. Keep them out of gangs, know who their friends are, pay attention to what is going on in their lives. Its hard, but they need to learn early in life to respect life and not to take matters into their own hands. Some serious jail time awaits this female who drove the car and she will have a long time to sit and think about killing a person instead of exercising some self control. And the other females who accompanied them, stay home from now on when you get a call for a brawl, you will be a lot better off. You will remember this and have to deal with it the rest of your lives.

[PRAYING YOU LADY]

TO THE YOUG LADY OR MAN THAT WROTE THE COMMENT ON
NOV 7 AT 6:53 AM. AND USED THE NAME TAE NOT ONE TIME DID MEDIA SAY THIS YOUG LADY WAS GANG BANGING, BEFORE POSTING YOUR COMMENTS YOU REALY SHOULD GET TO KNOW THE FACTS. WERE YOU ACTULY THERE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPEND.

MY HEART TRULY GOES OUT TO THIS YOUG LADIES FAMILY. I WILL KEEP YOU ALL IN MY PRAYERS

[nichele mitchell]

this is unbelievable....i cant believe these women did all of this over one man...once again our black community is giving everyone a show and something else to talk about. i hope one day we can get it together Lord knows we need to.We have one woman dead one woman that wont walk the same anymore and another young woman in jail(for the rest of her life) was this man really worth it?probaly not. I pray for everyone that was involed in this stupid dispute.

[concerned citizen]

How sad; how very sad. What a senseless and tragic waste! Out of the 200-300 people standing around watching, was there no one available with the maturity to try and talk some sense into at least a few of these young women? We have truly come to the end of ourselves if we are so cowardice as to stand by and allow this scene to unfold unto death without lifting a finger to prevent it. If the persons who were there are not ashamed, they certainly should be!
Not one grown man among the spectators had nerve enough to intervene and offer a better dispute resolution to these young women than gathering to fight like heathens? This is why our young people are failing in life: the very adults who should be parenting are running scared and/or outright stupid. One woman lost her life and that of her child while another woman has been permanently crippled and still another will be locked away and not see the light of day until she is much older, and prayerfully, far wiser. Is the young man sorry and is he remorseful, knowing this all transpired because of him? I certainly hope so. God forbid he is puffing himself up while enjoying the notoriety of it all. To be sure, God’s truth will find him out.
Was it worth it, young women? You can’t be preparing for life and still have time to be fighting in the streets! You can’t be looking forward to tomorrow and still have time to be fighting in the streets!! You can’t be about the business of wanting to be a good mother and still have time to be fighting in the streets!!! Young women, no words that you spew can validate your presence at this melee or address the tragedy of this, that even Shakespeare could not have written better. The sad truth is that this isn't a 3 act play, it is your real life.
Let this unforeseen outcome be a life lesson to all who lived to tell the story but were not personally affected. It was only by the grace of God that you too did not lose your life or your child’s life or your limb. Be aware now more than ever that you never know how soon life will end or in what way. Use this time of mourning to prepare yourselves. It’s time that you put childish things behind you and get it together but fast or you can forget about the future because you won't be here to partake of it. Wake up and seek the Light while there is yet time!

[REALITY CHECK]

IF YOU GO LOOKING FOR TROUBLE DONT CRY WHEN YOU FIND IT STARING BACK AT YOU

[K.K.]

Im still trying to understand why a pregnant young lady was out there while a brawl was taking place? if anything, she should have been in the house. Rumor has it that one of her friends called her, and she came down there (not sure if that's true) if it is, her friend needs to be socked! Why would you call a pregnant young lady to come to the scene of a brawl????????????? Just asking!

[CHi0N]

I D0NT EVEN KNOW HER, BUT THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS JUST SAD..IT HURTS ME SO SO MUCH TO SEE THESE YOUNG FEMALES GO DOWN LIKE THIS, I HOPE THE TRICK UNIQUE BISHOP WHOEVER SHE IS..IS FEELING REALLY EFFIN STUPID RIGHT DUMB A$$ I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR HER WHAT SO EVER BUT I DO WANT TO SEND MY SYMPATHY OUT TO MS SHONTAE BLANCHE AND HER FAMILY SORRY FOR YALL LOST MAY SHE REST IN PEACE HER AND HER LIL BABY GIRL

[Ken R]

What a tragedy.....first let me offer my heartfelt condolences to Ms. Blanche's family, I will continue to keep your family in my prayers.

This message is really intended for "ALL" of the young people who will visit this blog.......Please Please Please see the lesson in this tragic event.

"Think about this"........I would be willing to bet "ALL" that I have that not one of these young ladies that participated in this fight went there with the intentions to either kill or be killed, but this is a classic case of how quickly a situation can get out of control and someone in a fit of rage does something irrational, unthinkable, irreversible & deadly.

For something to happen on this scale (30 women) this situation had to be brewing for quite some time, "SOMEONE" has got to take a mature stance and try and difuse the situation before it gets to this point.....why you ask.....well look at the outcome "2" lives lost, "1" person seriously injured and "1" person now "PROPERTY" of the State of California, not to mention numerous families and friends feeling hurt, pain & grief.

In the past our ancestors worried about the KKK....now we have to worry about the person who looks just like us!!!!!! (go figure)

We have become defacto members of the KKK, they no longer have to ride through our neighborhoods and attack & kill us......WE'RE DOING IT FOR THEM!!!!!!!

Young people PLEASE wakeup and realize that we have become our own worst enemy, I know that you alone as one person can't change the world, but "YOU" can change "YOURSELF" and "YOUR BEHAVIOR".

God bless you all and us as a people.

[cliff]

the only reason i read this murder blog is its sick...like the thrill you get out of a roller coaster ride or a scary movie.when in fact, these are our black/brown (mostly) brothers and sisters dying.and equally disgusting is that were doing the killing also.children,adults,anyone and everyone.gangsters killing for fun,etc.why have u given up so soon?there is a chance...u can join the army....that right there may save some of you.so many options.anything rather than living the urban ghetto life of gangsters and their women.i remember as a kid watching boys in the hood and all that.it was entertainment then to me.now its a trap for us.shake it off,damn!walk it out.do something.try at least.this is beyond pitiful.no fathers.no marriage.no jobs.no futures.no dreams.no desires.no goals.and then when there is a shining light within someone.......along comes a clown with a gun and puts it to rest.2008 is here and mostly black people are living like we just came out of a jungle.prison isnt cool.selling dope aint cool.being able to read is cool.and living a positive life is priceless.from a reformed criminal.good luck to all of you.alot of catching up to do.

[Missy]

To the family of Shontae Blanche, my condolences are with you. I am so sad for your loss. May the peace of God comfort and sustain you throughout your loss.- Missy

[TRUTHFULEE]

3 LIVES LOST

[litebrite]

well i know the family a little bit and i remeber shontae from holy name and as i read the above comments i feel bad for the people who wrote about shontae and dont know anything about her. i was really shock to here this story and lots of people are hurting because of what happen, i hope the family of that girl is hurting for all the pain that everyone else is dealing with now

[CC]

I love you cousin so much...Your life was taken from you so short...God took an angel to heaven...You...I love you and will watch after Helen

[cic]

to all of u posting those disrespectful comments u dont know her and u dont know the true story so stop telling lies and learn the truth

[TATI]

FIRST OF ALL SHONTAE WASNT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE TO THE PERSON WHO MADE THAT COMMENT U NEED TO HEAR THE TRUE STORY B 4 U GO JUDGING PEOPLE AND LISTENING TO HEAR SAY. I HAVE KNOW SYMPOTHY 4 UNIQUE BISHOP THAT BITCH CAN REST IN PISS OR ROT IN JAIL 4 THE REST OF HER FUCKING LIFE. I LOVE SHONTAE AND SHE DIDNT DESERVE THIS BUT THINGS HAPPEN SOMETIME SO FAST THAT U CANT CONTROL IT SO JUST WATCH OVER THE REST OF US WHO STILL OUT HERE.

[Been there done that]

WOW! Rage is a POWERFUL thing! Ladies hey i'm 30 something and have felt at one time or another and been there! The questions people may have for you all like why ( was it that serious or ( how ) could you do this! but you have to think! Life is promised to no one! value it, value yourselves, value the lord!
You've been preached to plenty I just say we have to keep mentoring and being an example to younger ladies. Last but least ladies our these men worth that much have Self - Worth and no man will ever have you in this turmoil. Need a mentor contact editor for my e-mail. Been there done that this lady! Jada

[emotional]

this story REally REally breaks my heart. I can not stop thinking about her....almost as if I knew her personally.
This shit right here should be a wake up call to ALL. Here a young women and her unborn child has lost their life. "This is Crazy"
I pray for deceased the family and her husband. I can't imagine how he must feel.
it really doesn't matter what her back round was, she was still a person, and at the end of the day, "Only god can judge us"
Yes, she probably shouldn't of been there, but thats neither here or there at this point.
It just goes to show us, one wrong decision, can be one... that will have a life long effect. I'm almost positive she didn't go to the brawl with the intent to die or kill. Its just one of those things that we need to keep in mind can happen, before, during, or after any fight. Whether your involved or not.
I'm a strong believer in GOD and his word, and even though this hurts like hell, it was meant. Everything happens for a reason.
Knowone knows how their leaving this earth, but we all are, One day. AND the only one overseeing that is GOD.
On November 5th God was ready for another one or shall I say two of his angels, so he called them home however necessary.
RIP Shontae, you and your lil princess are in a better place...........

[NaeNae 4rm CALI]

man i feel real sad for her and her baby may she rest in God's hands... her friends should feel like shit right now because WHOEVER called her down technically called her to her death.. why would ya'll call ur friend to a fight (even if she didin't fight) and she was pregnant? that meant ya'll didnt care about her and she should not have gone.. but i believe that nobody was planning on killing anybody but this organized fight or "meeting" was so damn childish and stupid...i've been to unique's myspace and she has a baby too so y would she do that? kill somebody and they baby while hers is gonna be raised by someone else.. GOD please help us and our generation

[tae]

ok heres the thing.....to you people that knew this girl and are getting mad at the public for their comments...you really need to relax...cause they only goin on what the news is saying so instead of getting mad tell the real story....but that makes to much since uh?

[TAMMY]

I WANT TO START BY SAYING, I PRAY FOR PEACE AND COMFORT OVER THE FAMILY OF SHONTAE BLANCHE.
WE AS HUMAN BEINGS ( MOST OF US ANYWAY) SWERVE OR DO WHAT WE CAN TO AVOID HITTING A ANIMAL IN THE STREET, GOD FORBID I HIT THAT ANIMAL IT WOULD SEND CHILLS UP AND DOWN MY SPINE.IF I WERE TO HIT A HUMAN, PREGNANT OR NOT, EVEN BY ACCIDENT, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY KNOWING I KILLED THAT PERSON.THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION HAS TOUCHED NOT ONLY THOSE OF US WHO KNEW SHONTAE PERSONALLY BUT EVERYONE WHO HAS HEARD OF THIS IS IN AWE!!. I'VE ASKED MYSELF SEVERAL TIMES HOW THIS UNIQUE COULD DO WHAT SHE'S DONE? WELL I CAN BET IN THE BEGINNING, IT WASN'T IN HER PLAN TO GO AND RUN THESE WOMEN DOWN AS SHE DID, BUT KEEPING IT REAL THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MYSELF AS WELL AS A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER WOMEN OUT THERE, FIRST OF ALL WE AS WOMEN, WE LOVE HARD AND UNCONDITIONALLY, AGAIN KEEPING IT REAL, HOW MANY OF US CAN HONESTLY SAY WE HAVE NEVER GOT INTO IT WITH ANOTHER WOMAN OVER A MAN BEFORE? NOT TOO MANY OF US, WE HAVE EITHER GOT INTO AN ARGUEMENT OR A PHYSICAL ALTERCATION, IT JUST DIDN'T GO THIS FAR, BUT IT EASILY COULD HAVE! THERE ARE NO RULES IN FIGHTING. WE OFTEN GO AFTER THE OTHER WOMAN BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE SHE'S DISRESPECTFUL AND SOMETIMES THEY ARE, BUT OFTEN TIMES THEY HONESTLY IN THE BEGINNING DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO, NOT KNOWING IF THE MAN HAS A WOMAN,KIDS, OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. BY THE TIME WE FIND OUT, GUESS WHAT? WE'RE CAUGHT UP, FEELINGS ARE INVOLED AND WE DON'T CARE, WE'RE READY TO FIGHT FOR WHAT WE FEEL IS OURS. I'M NOT SURE OF THE EXACT SITUATION HERE, BUT ALL YOU'VE HEARD IS THAT IT WAS ALL OVER A MAN. O.K. WELL IT WASN'T SHONTAES' HUSBAND, AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF IT WAS UNIQUES' MAN OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW!!! AT THIS POINT DOES IT MATTER? SHONTAE AND HER BABY GIRL ARE GONE, OTHER LADIES ARE INJURED AND I'M ANGRY, I'M MAD AS HELL!! BUT TRUTHFULLY SPEAKING IT COULD'VE BEEN ME OR YOU IF WE ARE BEING HONEST WITH OURSELVES, I'M SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE, I'VE BEEN INTO IT WITH WOMEN BEFORE, AND I'VE HAD MY GIRLS BACK TOO, I JUST HATE THAT IT TOOK THIS, FOR SHONTAE AND ALL THE OTHER WOMEN INVOLVED TO BE THE EXAMPLES!! IT'S SO NOT WORTH IT. I KNOW PEOPLE PUSH OUR BUTTONS AND SAY AND DO THINGS TO ANGER US BUT NOW LOOK, LOOK AT ALL THE FAMILIES THAT ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS TODAY.SHONTAE AND HER BABY GIRL ARE ALRIGHT, THEY'RE AT PEACE, I'VE LOST A CHILD, AND THE PAIN IS UNREAL!! IT NEVER GOES AWAY YOU JUST LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT. MY SON DIED, HE WASN'T KILLED, I KNOW A LOSS IS A LOSS, BUT I THINK IT HURTS EVEN MORE WHEN ANOTHER HUMAN BEING IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING THE LIFE OF YOUR LOVED ONE.
IN SAYING ALL THAT I'VE SAID MY POINT IS THIS, MO MATTER WHAT IT WAS OVER , IF IT WAS A MAN , LADIES LETS LEARN FROM THIS, MOST OF US HAVE BEEN IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS, BLACK ,WHITE ,PURPLE, BROWN, IT DOESN'T MATTER, AT THE END OF THE DAY WE'RE ALL HUMAN AND WE MAKE MISTAKES, SO LET'S LEARN FROM THEM AND MOVE ON. SHONTAE AND THE OTHER LADIES THAT WERE RAN OVER ARE NOT THE ONLY VICTIMS, UNIQUE IS DONE! HER AND HER FAMILIY ARE VICTIMS TOO BELIEVE ME THEY ARE SUFFERING AND FROM WHAT I HEAR SHE HAS A 1 YR OLD SON, WHO NOW IS WITHOUT HIS MOTHER, CAN YOU IMAGINE? I CAN'T!!UNIQUE HAS TO LIVE WITH WHAT SHE DID EVERYDAY FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE, KNOWING THAT THE DECISSON SHE MADE NOV.5,2007 HAS DESTROYED SO MANY LIVES.THAT HAS TO BE HARD.SO ALL OF US THAT CARED ABOUT SHONTAE HAVE TO PRAY FOR HER AS WELL I KNOW IT'S HARD CAUSE WHETER WE KNEW SHONTAE OR NOT WE HAVE ALOT OF ANGER BUT WHAT WOULD GOD DO ? HE WOULD FORGIVE HER AS HE HAS FORGAVE US FOR THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE.HOW CAN WE ASK FOR FORGIVENESS IF WE CAN'T FORGIVE, THIS SITUATION IS SO MUCH DEEPER THEN BEING JUST OVER A MAN, I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND.THAT. NO MATTER HOW WE ARE HURTING BEHIND THIS HORRIFIC TRAGEDY WE CAN'T FIND JOY IN SOMEONE ELSES PAIN..
TO ALL THE FAMILES INVOLVED I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU.TO SHONTAES FAMILY ESPECIALLY I PRAY THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN YOU AND GUIDE YOU FROM HERE, I PRAY THAT HE WILL COMFORT YOU, AND MOST OF ALL THAT HE WILL GIVE YOU PEACE.I ALSO HOPE AND PRAY EVERYONE ELSE WILL DO THE SAME.
SHONTAE AKA TERMITE, MY FAMILY AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR SMILE. WE HAVE BEEN LAUGHING ABOUT AN INCIDENT WHEN YOU WERE RIDING HOME WITH US. SHONTAE WAS A HAPPY, DETERMINED INDIVIDUAL AT A YOUNG AGE AND I LIKED THAT ABOUT HER, SHE WAS SO FUNNY!!! KEEP DANCING, CRACKING JOKES AND SMILING!!!..REST IN PEACE SHONTAE, YOU AND YOUR BABY GIRL!!

[cheryl]

[cic]

[DCF]

WHAT A MAN? HAD OVER 30 YOUNG WOMEN OUT THERE ACTING A FOOL FOR HIS BEHIND. NOW THAT 2 LIVES CUT SHORT AND 1 STRUGGLING TO HOLD ON TO ALL HER GOD GIVING BODY PARTS. REMEMBER WHAT YOUR MOMMY TOLD YOU " A MAN CAN GET OUT IN THE STREETS AND ACT A FOOL, AND NO BODY WILL TALK, BUT LET A WOMAN GET OUT THERE AND YOU WILL KNOW ABOUT IT IN THE HOUR. WHAT EVER WAS GOING THRU THAT GIRL MIND WHEN SHE DID IT NOW SHE CAN ASK HER SELF WAS THAT MAN REALLY WORTH ALL THAT. NO MORE HUGGING, KISSING AND MAKING LOVE TO THIS MAN. JAIL IS A CRUEL HARSH PLACE AND YOU JUST SET YOURSELF UP FOR THIS LIFE. BUT WHAT PEOPLE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT ALL OF IT WAS ALREADY WRITTEN IN THEIR BOOK OF LIFE. THIS WAS JUST THE SITUATION AND IT MANIFESTED. I FEEL SO SAD FOR THIS GIRLS FAMILY, THAT THEY HAVE LOST TWO. BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THAT MY NEPHEW WAS MURDERED BECAUSE OF SOME FEMALE HE WAS DEALING WITH THE THE OTHER MAN COULD NOT TAKE IT. DIFFERENT PLAYERS ALL THE SAME. A MESSAGE FROM A WOMAN "NO MAN IS WORTH TAKING SOMEONE LIFE, WHILE YOU WERE OUT THERE ACTING A FOOL HE WAS SOMEWHERE LAUGHING AND KICKING IT WITH SOMEONE ELSE. YOU DON'T HAVE AND NEITHER DOES THE OTHER ONE. SHE IS IN HEAVEN AND YOU ARE IN HELL. SAME GAME. I HOPE THIS MAN COME AND SEE YOU BECAUSE YOU FELT THAT HE WAS YOUR MAN. WHETHER WE KNOW THAT WHOLE DEAL WELL, ALL THE FEMALES THAT WERE INVOLVED SHOULD TELL THE TRUTH, AND NOT HALF TRUTHS. TO THE YOUNG MAN THAT WAS THE DEVIL'S SPAWN IN THIS I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY THEN AGAIN WHY SHOULD YOU BE.

[ericka D.]

wow....... I just want to say RIP , I went to CSUN with her she was a great girl I will always rememeber being really energenic.

[zuri morales]

i Remember you as happy girl. :)

my thoughts and condolence goes to your family and love onces.

[sugar ray]

this to the player who had women fighting over him. man when had i two or three
women back in the day i keep it on the down low and thought it was cool,but man its not. best for you player is to get out of town beacuse there no peace for you ever. but to this see a young lady lose her life over you who probably wasn't involved in the melee at the time just an on looker at the brawl. i know you feel bad beacuse i would feel responsible for that young lady and would turn my life around soon as possible for the good if i was in your shoes.

[beenthroughitB4]

Man, it's crazy how u r here one day and then gone the next. I wasn't close to Shante but I have been to a few parties and danced with her. I more so know her husband and the father of her child. We went to highschool together. He was so happy to be with her. I remember when he told me he was married. I never heard a young man sound so happy about that. I feel for you man, just keep your head up and stay strong. To the family, I will keep you in my prayers. Unique, I know personally, we went to junior high together. What the hell was you thinking? U know you shouldn't have even been there. But, look now you in jail and gonna be for the rest of your life. Imagine that. This was a real tragedy that should not have happened.

[Renee]

Shante and her Husband's family are in my prayers. I met Shante through my friend Ebony. Shante was a very fun and positive person to be around. I will miss her smile. Now your in a better place. Your in God's hands now and he will take good care of you. Shante will truly be missed. May Shante and her baby Girl R.I.P

[KIWI]

I WENT TO SHONTAE TO SAY MY LAST GOODBYE HER SREVICE WAS VERY NICE AND IT WAS SO PACK U WIL BE MISSED TERMITE

[mirror]

First off, all violence of this nature is senseless, and wrong. I hope all lost souls to violence and tragedy can rest in peace and find a better place than this world. There is always more to the story than what people read in the media, and for all the people posting things about "not knowing her" are either not "in the know" themselves, or are lying about some of Shontae's reality. She may have had tons of wonderful qualities, and clearly she was loved and cared about by many, but she was not an innocent woman. She was associtaed with gang activity and participated in violent acts (yes, even the taking of other lives) along with other gang members. Sometimes karma is an ugly mirror. Nothing about her death is right, but there were certainly some things in her life that were not either.

[Ronald G Wilson]

I do not know any of these young ladies physically but in the spirit we are the same. it is time that we remember that in GODS' eyes we are the same. Shonte GODS angel RIP. To Unique GOD is in the forgiving business. Repent and go on. Try to help somebody else that might be going down the same road. To all of the young brother's and sister's stop the nonsense and give it to the LORD. I love you all

[Now What?]

I think Unique might have a reasonable defense. It will have to come out during the trial (iif there is one) exactly who fought whom. Was it just Unique and her sister set upon by 25 women backing up Unique's opponent?

Did Unique and her sister take a bad beating, being outnumbered?

Were some of the women who beat Unique in the group of four, one of which was Shontae, that "approached" Unique's car as she was trying to get in it?

What was exactly said when the group exchanged words with Unique?

Did Unique say "I'm going to get you" to the group as they walked away?

Did the Unique go forward when she meant to go backward?

There are a lot of unanswered questions.

[a smart individual]

No one that was pregnant should have been meeting up with anyone to fight over a guy that's gonna do what he wants to do anyway. That was so out of line to put the unborn child in danger and try to fight instead of relaxing at home or studying for what ever she was trying to be in college. Also I feel that the girl unique shouldn't have ran the girl over on accident or on purpose. Everyone should pay the price for doing an evil deed. People should learn to start loving one another instead of tryin to hurt one another. Life is too short, and too enjoyable to be angry and upset all the time. So now shontae had to suffer and now unique has to suffer and also the people that knew these individuals, and the people that were involved have to suffer for being apart of something so cruel.
