His life was taken by an idiot, coward gang member. The suspect is serving his time in the men's central jail and I hope he rots in there. Funny thing is that the culprit swears up and down that he is innocent but everyone saw him shoot the victim.

I am glad to hear the person responsible for this crime was brought to justice. It gives hope for other people and families who are victims of street violence.
