Thank you for covering stories like these. I live in Gardena and know who this kid is. Apparently there has been local gang beef with another gang that is resulting in the loss of too many young men. As a result, I don’t allow my kids to hang outside. It’s sad and must stop. May God bless us all.
Keep up the great work. I am a huge fan of your work.
Great Job An Very Information “Keep It Going
