Five reader comments about Vincent Zamorano
I met Vince almost exactly a year before he was killed. I stopped speaking with him about 3 months ago, and just finding out about death. His murder comes as no surprise to me or others that knew him. He screwed over so many of his "friends" that the list of suspects would be quite extensive. Karma can be a real b!tch.

Hadn't seen Vince for eight years and just last summer reconnected with him on Facebook. We talked and I got a weird vibe from him. He wasnt the same guy I used to know. It was shocking to me to hear of his murder. Made me wonder what he'd been involved in for the last eight years. Either way RIP.

I'm trying to figure out if this is who I think it is- how did he make is living?
I hope it's not him.
