Good thoughts go forth for this departed soul. The pictures brought me back to close to remembering the despair of hopelessness; at the crossroads of nowhere to go and no help available, ending your life can seem like the best option.

He did not commit suicide. It states the weapon is STILL OUTSTANDING. That means they didn’t find it. So he did not commit suicide. Please think of the family when you post stuff like this.

It was my cousin Michael who was shot . He was 33 and the loving father of three beautiful children.
He will be missed so much .
His ex says
Loving father is far from the truth
Raya says
He did love his children very much. RIP Michael
An old friend says
God damnit. He daydreamed in the military about getting away from all of this crap a lifetime ago but he was pretty realistic that he wouldn’t be able to do that and go home. And this gang bullshit, drugs, and violence is all that anyone in his life ever offered him. I just want people to know he was born and indoctrinated into this life from birth and he fantasized about being able to escape that life and those people and not raise his children in that bullshit. He might have been the most abused and traumatized person I’ve ever met. I love you Bam Bam. I’m sorry it was all violence your whole life and still ended like this for you my brother, rest easy.
