RIP Bryan Anderson
You will be never forgotten, always missed
You was loved, where you are now in peace, you are not in pain anymore life goes on , so do your memories, the pain of not seeing you around family anymore. You have lived your life to the fullest, your life should of not ended on the cold pavement alone with no family due to what the streets have to offer. The person who did this to you can run but will not hide forever, may justice prevail because this is so wrong.

Who do you think you are! It’s people like you that have turned this community into the [removed] it’s become! A mother lost her son and just because he was visiting another family member who lives in a not so nice part of town you automatically assume he was a drug dealer! Well he wasn’t! He was my kids godfather and my best friend! Everyone has a story that has good and bad parts. At the end of the day that is someone’s son that has been murdered and the la sheriff’s won’t bother to investigate because of the location they will chalk it up to some lie about a bad drug deal or something!

A man named Bryan Roy Anderson lost his life. Oh, how I wish people would be more thoughtful choosing their words.
Flaca says

Beech Avenue between Avenue J and Avenue K has become the literal septic tank of the Antelope Valley. Everyone knows this. You avoid that area unless you have “business” there or live there. I use the term “business” very loosely.
The fact that someone from Quartz Hill was over there makes me wonder what they were up to?
Lisa says
I agree it wasn’t a legit thing especially at night.
Jay says
He was visiting his cousin. Fell asleep someone came over there woke him up and shot him.
Stinger says
That seems a rather odd location for someone to decide to take a nap at.
It should be interesting to find out what the investigation turns up.
NOT LAUGHING! says

Replying to NOT FUNY says
Yeah pal let’s meet up so I can knock the s*** outta ya!
Mimi82 says
You’re absolutely right. that’s exactly why the cowards name isnt disclosed. Only cowardly punks hide themselves because there not man enough to give the real. When it hits them close to home laughs turns to sobbing tears real quick…sooner then you think
Who cares says
It’s funny how people can be so insensitive to a man who just lost his life,to a mom who lost a son and to the loved ones and the people who cared for him. Yes beech is a shit hole but that does not give anyone the right to do what was done RIP my Boy I LOVE YOU AND WILL FOREVER MISS YOU 47-0 CAUSE YOU DID NOT LOSE THIS FIGHT.
Tim Scott says
Sorry for your loss.
FWIW I’m pretty sure the laughing was at the Rexville comment and had nothing to do with your tragedy, though the commentary is obviously out of place. As was a lot of other discussion here.
