Six reader comments about Damion Richardson
Damion was a father 0f 6 kids. Five boys and one girl. He was a fun and crazy guy who loved his family and friend. He loved to joke and laugh, playing dominoes or cards was a pleasure seeing him play. Its so sad that someone took his life and left his children with no father.

Damion was the father of my 3 children. His children were his world. As long as they were happy he was happy. He tried his best to be a positive male romodel and to teach his kids to learn from his mistakes. Now because of this nonsense his 6 children are growing up without a father. His mother is mourning the loss of her son. I am missing and mourning the love of my life. And his brothers lost their brother. His family and friends are all hurting.

Why weren't there any arrests made??? See this is a GREAT example of the judicial system at it's worst. Not only did you have a suspect (whom lied to you) but you let him go? Detective Kirby....you have to step your game up ... I've seen the report. What are u waiting for??? His family & friends need justice, what's going on over there in your department?

Mike whoever the fxxk you are don't sum my baby's murder up to another gang story. My baby was out there doing what he did best and that was protecting his family. This report says theirs no suspects when det Kirby knew from day 1 who did it. He came to the home where his mother and small children live. So keep your negativity off my baby shxt
