I'm sure he was coming back from choir practice on his way to vist his sick grandmother between jobs helping support the family, NOT. A criminal killed by another criminal. Sadly it seems to be growing in the county. How many killed this week alone, 3-4 ?

Something needs to be done about these young people dying so young. But having a loaded gun in the wrong hands will cause a death. Pray for our young people who certainly needs to listen to their parents, grands and other adults in the community. A precious life loss and yet had a life to live. If only the youth could see that. My condolences to the family and many friends. Keep his memories for they are precious. All of you are in my prayers. May others sure learn from this.
