Nothing in the story says he was with a crowd of 15 - 20 people.

As for being out at 4:30am? That's typical of a longshoreman where they work at all hours.

Interesting...Mom says no one was at home with Mario except his family when he was murdered...

She writes: "HE WAS AT HIS HOME TALKING TO HIS LITTLE BROTHERS AND SISTERS HED JUST GOTTEN OFF WORK AND WAS TALKING TO THEM. THEIR WAS NO ONE IN MY HOME EXCEPT FAMILY MEMBERS WHEN MY SON WAS MURDERED"

Wonder what that really means?

— give me a break .... it means that only family members were in his home when he was outside and gunned down by sociopaths.

Wow its amazing how some people are really trying to switch things up ...It doesnt take to much to figure what really happened that night... Its only a matter of time... Some people really thought that what really happened that night wouldnt be found out... Im his mom and I always knew what really went down... so keep reading your papers and try as you may to have anyone believe what you are trying to say... Trust and believe the main person who did this knows its a matter of time.... Make your comments try and switch up what really happened.... but ....... always and forever Marios mom and I made that promise and I will......only answer to God...... Marios Mom......and Marios angel...............

This case just seems off...Mario's mom makes lots of statements and inuendos. I truly hope she is right and it is "a matter of time" before Marios killer is found and held accountable.

give me a break - Don't worry about what Mario's mom has to say. That was her son, and her son only. It's none of your business what she's got to say. So do us a favor and get a life.
