So sorry this young man had been killed by a cowardly act of maybe revenge hood killing or that. But whatever happen to love your neighbor. It’s to much of these acts with hatred in their hearts toward another individual to continue to slaughter each other with little or no motive but revenge. He could be walking around now if someone hadn’t decided to do this cowardly act instead of making peace!
