    Sending condolences to his family. There are many things that could have been said about this young man rather than staying where he did or did not have a criminal record. How is that relevant to his passing?

      Believe it or not, sometimes a criminal record helps point them in the direction of solving the case.

        It is understandabl about what the POLICE need to solve a case, but what some of us are saying is that the MEDIA did NOT have to print that about the young man!

    Rip Young man. And I hope if someone caused your early death,that they find justice for you. God bless his family with strength to make it through this heartbreaking time in their lives.

    Sending prayers and condolences to his family. And I also agree it’s not always if someone has or doesn’t have a criminal record.

      It does Not matter what color or race he was, his family is still feeling the pain of the lose of their beloved child. May the good Lord above grant them the strength to do what they need to do now, bury their child. He is with the Lord in his loving arms. May he REST IN THE PEACE AND LOVE OF THE LORD.

    They like to say all African Americans have a criminal history of some type, but not everyone have a criminal history. Some just made a few bad choices or some at the wrong place at the wrong time. Praying for this young man family and that they be able to find closure in this sad situation.
