So scary. RIP, buddy!
This is an outrage.
How can this happen and NOT one PERSON call the LAPD....
I just saw this on the news. I live two blocks from this murder.
If he was shot at 1am, it's incredulous that he was not seen sprawled on the street until 6am. I am right around the corner, people walk these streets constantly with their dogs even late at night which is what I used to do sometime back before I realized that was not too smart. I will bet you at least a couple of people had ran into him and chose not to get involved. This neighborhood is not as harmless as the interviewed residents have made it sound. Strange things happen around here. A few years ago, my Volvo was stolen from right in front of my house. Then I moved away. I had to move back in a couple of years ago due to divorce. First thing I did was raise my gate posts so I could create a hedge wall and high lockable gates. However, recently, a t-shirt had been dumped on my property in the narrow space between the hedge and the low wall and my sprinkler had been pulled out like it was going to be used as a weapon. Someone must have hidden in the tight space, changed shirt, and was evading whomever. I have no choice. Have to live here. I just do not walk around the neighborhood. Sad.
I knew Gabe my whole, went to Highschool and College with him. He was a smart, kind and gentle person. ITs a tragedy his life had to end so shortly.
