He was not a gang member, nor was a criminal. He was my band mates little brother. Only 13 years old walking home from a gig. The 4 people who fled like cowards must wanted to rob him, but instead took this innocent young life. Such a terrible lose, he was so talented and funny. RIP John my prayers are with you and your family.
