As of today, September 11th my family has not received any word from the detectives as to whether or not the suspect has been identified or arrested for this crime. My brother was laid to rest on Tuesday, 9.9.08 at the age of 28. I'm pleading to anyone who may have seen this shooting that they contact the detectives in charge of this investigation. Whomever did this needs to be brought to justice to pay for his crime before he does this to someone else. My brother was a very caring and giving person and would not harm anyone. He was walking home from his job at one of the Group Homes where he worked in the neighborhood. He often helped people with disadvantages and wanted to make a career of doing so by considering to become a nurse. He had a heart of gold and did not deserve this.
Please help the LAPD find him!
