That is so sad. My condolences to his family and friends. My husband and I used to walk around there (in 2001). Why isn't it called "South Central" anymore? Sounds better to say "South Los Angeles.?

My sympathy goes out to you, your unborn son, family, and friends. I only had the pleasure to know you for a short while, but my short lived encounters with you will greatly be missed! I know you're in a better place, because I know personally you had a relationship with GOD! And I will hold in my heart the last words you spoke to me, "THE SKY IS THE LIMIT" !!!
