Why have they not found the gunman yet? This is ridiculous. A young man lost his life and nobody is willing to talk to give this family justice. He will never be able to enjoy the wonderful life that awaited him and his family will not be able to see what he could have blossomed into to.

Izzy, as what seems to be the case in so many murders,this is a random act of violence. Violence for violences sake.
Add a gang componant to it, and then it becomes near impossible to solve this type of crime.

So, they still have not found the killer of this boy. This poor family, going to the cementry everyday wishing he was not dead. This is justice. People need to speak up. Give this family justice.
Violence for violence sake is still not right. And for you Phillip, the investigation cant take place when people like you are afraid to speak out the truth of who did this.

THIS GUNMAN HAS TO BE IN HAND CUFFS AND SET TO A DEATH PENALTY THERE ARE RUMORS IN THE STREET THE COPS SHOULD BE OUT AND ASKING QUESTIONS THIS IS NOT TO BE A DONE CASE THIS CASE SHOULD BE HANDELED WITH SOME CARENESS TO IT I THINK THIS YOUNG MAN WAS TRYING TO BETTER FOR HIMSELF AND TO CREATE HIS EDUCATIONAL FUTURE WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND AND LOVED ONES AROUND HIM ,EVERYONE LOVED THIS YOUNG MAN THAT KNEW HIM AND FRIENDS?? YOU CANT TRUST NO ONE WHAT IF THIS WAS A SET UP WITH HIS SO CALLED "HOMIES" THINK ABOUT IT HIS "FRIENDS" STOLE FROM HIM BEFORE WHY WOULD YOU TRUST THEM WITH HIS LIFE?! I SAY BULLSHIT THE COPS SHOULD KNOW WHO DID IT AND SHOULD PUT HIM IN CUFFS AND READY TO SERVE DEATH...
"I MISS HIM WITH ALL MY HEART AND HOPE ONE DAY WE WILL ALL BE GATHERED BY HIM AND THAT WE WILL RECIVE JUSTICE."
-A.A.A
I HOPE THAT SOME ONE IS REAALLY LOOKING AND HANDLEING THIS CASE WITH CARE.. HE WAS A REALLY YOUNG GOOD MAN WITH A HEART.
