The boy died , more than likely it wasn't random, who ever killed him probably knew him either through school or because of jealousy over a girl friend , why would a gang bring that kind of heat on themselves , for an un armed boy, this was not random just a hunch but I could be wrong
Gang members don't care about bringing "heat" on themselves. Increase in gang shootings proves that.
Lord Jesus we pray for the victims and their families. and also for the persons responsible, that they may come forward.
