I knew gabriel through my son. He was a really good boy. It broke my heart when I found this out. My son and gabriel use to play video games together at his house and attended vine street elementary together. My heart goes out to his mother. I can't imagine my life without my son. God is with you and your son. Rest in peace gabriel.

If the deceased had an acquaintance named "criminal", I think we can say this was a gang related shooting.

i have to say that this baby gave his life to this gang and he only got 6 comments????? those people are going on with their lives and going home to their families. his mother is the only one going through the pain alone. god bless her heart.

— tears; why should that surprise you. His "homies" have already forgotten about him, and they in turn will slowly dissapear, either to prison or themselves being murdered.

There's a reason why children choose to take the wrong path and wind up in gangs. Ignorant adults like Syscom3 have already written them off without an inkling of their true identities. Self- righteous, narcissistic buffoons such as he have never experienced life outside of his white bread world.
Welcome to California Dimcom, the state where YOU are the minority. Get used to it. You're a setting sun.
