i attend ecc and was attending the winter session when this murder took place, there were so many rumors going around that i didn't know what to believe, first people said he didn't gangbang and was just walking home from school, now i'm reading this article and the police sargeant is saying that it was a gang related shooting. WHICH ONE IS IT???. MY HEART SINCERELY GOES OUT TO MR. CRAWFORD'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS, WHETHER SOMEONE IS BANGING OR NOT, A MURDER IS ALWAYS A SAD EVENT, BUT IF HE WAS A GANGMEMBER, I HOPE THIS WILL LEAD ALL THOSE OTHER WANNA BE GANGMEMBER AT COMPTON COLLEGE TO REEXAMINE THEIR DECISIONS, BECAUSE THAT LIFE IS NO JOKE!!!!
