There was another homicide, not too long ago, as a matter of fact, it was also in East L.A., where a DJ was murdered. I've said it before, these rave parties are just a big, brewing pot of trouble.

I agree with Meck as well, we had warned him many times to stop deejaying at those parties but sometimes the need for income was greater than anything else. We miss you very much and we hope justice will be served because you didn't deserve to leave this world the way you did.
