Taun Posted November 23, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Have the authorities given any reason given for the shooting?... Was it a targeted 'hit' on him, or just a random act of senseless violence?.. Why does it always seem to be the good people who get hurt by these acts?... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His friend had a couple bags of cocaine on him. I think that kinda speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_dreamer Posted November 23, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I just recently learned that Puerto Rico can be a dangerous place. Before, I had just heard what a beautiful place it was to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbi Laveau Posted November 23, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I just recently learned that Puerto Rico can be a dangerous place. Before, I had just heard what a beautiful place it was to visit. Puerto Rico is beautiful ,as is the Dominican republic. It's safe as long as you aren't dealing drugs .

Princess Serenity Posted November 23, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I hope they found the person responsible and lock him up for life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummug Posted November 24, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I think I heard today they're taking him off life support. May God rest his soul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidhead Posted November 25, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) He was flashy and cocky... but won fights. He was the new kid on the block during the ending careers of the middle weight greats roberto duran, tommy hearns, marvin hagler and sugar ray leonard. And now he's dead over some sour drug deal. Seems pointless to achieve something so awesome earlier in life to let it all blow away so easily prevented. Oh well... later Macho.
