ENRIQUE was a young man of soft spoken words with a heart big enough to fit the world in it. How could someone take another person's life? This i will never know the answer to because I do have a HEART and SOUL. My lil homie casper had everyone's back. He was loved by many and will continue to live on in our hearts and minds as long as we shall live.This has brought so much pain to the family and loved ones.He was a son, grandson,cousin, brother,nephew(to many)- neighbor, and friend to many. It seems to be so unreal; however, I PRAY that whomever did this will be caught and the proper justice will served. If you needed anything he would have given it to you so I just can't understand why someone would take his life like that. People this is an eye opener to us all that "HATERS" do exist and they are toxic to our lives. He is now resting and in a much better place. I love you Casper and you will truely be missed....

I was blessed to have met enrique ramirez.... We spent many fun times together. enrique was an amazing human being with a gentle heart. Those who speak negative, have no clue! Get it right before you post your comments.
A tragedy can befall anybody anytime and we are required to express sympathy with the affected people, with that said, this is for his family, friends and especially his brother anthony who seeing him died . My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow. Casper was a beautiful person with a good soul. I will cherish every moment spent with him. I believe God saw him getting tired of his struggles and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around him and whispered "come to me".
Casper will truly be missed but never fogotten.

— SPORTY, considering you embrace the gang life and are an active participant in a liefstyle thats full of violence, terror and hatred; dont you think its a little melodramatic calling me a "hater"?

I find it quite funny actually.

And no matter how much you wish for there to be a happy ending in paradise for you and your fellow sociopaths, forget it. God doesnt like or tolerate gangsters.

To syscom3
your constantly talking Smack on every post! i saw the crap you posted on "Kevin Wooten" article i find you to be a coward with no sympathy and when your time comes to die i will post "this man was a sarcastic S.O.B with no remorse or sympathy for the things being expressed toward other people" on your BS article. you dont know what kind of lives these people lived and regardless of the situation, they are victims nonetheless and have families that morn so show alittle more well deserved respect to the families of these victims and unless your so confident in what you say, that your willing to tell the families and friends of these victims somthing to thier face as to where they can defend thier dignity and respect, i suggest you stop being so malace with what your posting!
