                  He was shot in a drive by while he was exiting the barrio on his scooter. Drug related no doubt. I live down the street from the location of the incident and it happened really close to the massacre that took place almost two years ago. Drugs are a nasty business/life.

                    Sad man, I work with kids just like this everyday from the inner city in Miami. Some of them want to do so well and yet live in areas where they can't escape this type of ****.

                    Kid looked like he had a bright future in the sport.
