Freddie God be with you. Freddie was very proud to be El Monte Flores.
Freddie was, lets just say a handful.

Emy, on the previous post, just confirmed that this guy was indeed a gang member, by giving out his gang's name!

Emy, so do you think Freddy is still proud of being part of a gang?

@ Emy By your comment, I can tell you did not know Freddie at all. Before you go out putting people on blast, get your facts right. Freddie was not a gang member. People, make your cruel and rude remarks, you will never change the man we lost. Since I have your attention, Thank you to the many El Monte business owners who donated funds to the family stating they just seen him and he always made them laugh. A sincere thank you to family and friends including EM homeboys & girls who dedicated their time to help at Freddie's car washes. Very sincere & caring man who others felt jealousy for. A father of two beautiful girls & a man who felt family was the most important thing. There is no valid proof that he was the shooter. No bullet hit his body nor did this handsome man get burnt. Although painful both these facts were a relief to hear. Respect Freddie. You don't know his life. May God keep you & your family safe. You never know when tragedy will strike. Joke may be on you.
