izzy shut up and let the investigation take place. it takes time and im confident theyll find or have already found the gunmen.

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.

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.

JEFFREY ALVARADO WAS MY BESTFRIEND!I CANT BELIEVE THEY TOOK HIM AWAY FROM ME!HOPEFULLY WHO EVER SHOOT HIM PAYS FOR IT.HE WAS THE ONE OF THE NICES GUYS I EVER MET,YOUR ALWAYS GONNA BE IN MY HEART JEFF REMEMBER THAT AND OUR SONG "GOOD THINGS" IM NEVER EVER GONNA FORGET THAT EITHER REST IN PEACE BESTFRIEND...
