Words cannot express how I feel. You were a good person who didn’t bother nobody… Your Niecy Poo have her days with you being gone. Im missing you like crazy. Now rest my baby brother you in God kingdom…

I’m glad that justice was served but it still doesn’t bring back my lil cousin. Rest in paradise CAS. We still love and miss you.

From Allaah do we come, to Allaah do we return(This is what the Muslim utters upon hearing death).I knew this brother, I know his grand mother,his father, family and the mother of his child. I received the news via text around 3 a.m. and have been up since then. Life is entirely too short, you never know when death will appear. Hence the reason it is imperative to be good to others, to do righteous good deeds and to rectify your affairs with your Lord. I pray that Allaah forgive my brother in Islaam of his sins, and grant him paradise. May he (Allaah) tranquil the hearts of his family during this most difficult period Aameen…
TANIKA writes about India Chapple, 26, who died from a stab wound last Saturday in Southeast D.C.
Ms. India Chapple you were an amazing person. I had the pleasure of meeting you at my daughter’s school. We would talk whenever I would see you. I thought back on the day our cars got booted and how we were trying to figure out the next step. It’s funny how the small things in life become a big part of our lives. Our small talks touched me and I will hold them dear to my heart. India you were very helpful, always smiling and just a vibrant young woman. To say my heart is heavy is an understatement. My daughter came home today saying how she was not going to see you anymore; confused and unclear as to what happened it was that moment I realized how much she will miss you. I can only imagine how your own babies must feel; one thing I know is that you loved them very much.
India please know that you are in a place without harm or hurt, no pain, pure happiness and peace. I trust that God will keep your babies safe. I will keep them and your loved ones in my prayers. You will forever be missed.

Crystal Skipwith writes in about Donald Ray Brown who died in a double shooting last September:
I had a reality check yesterday. I wanted to pop up on you me and chris down sw but i couldnt so i came to where you body lay in a grave. The sad thing is I couldnt find you there. Well christian i suppose he knew where u were cause he said he right here mommy but me i couldnt even grab the concept of bringing christian to see you in a grave. I couldnt grab the concept of not being able to tell you off then smile then say you hungry let’s eat. I couldnt grab the concept of looking down at freakn dirt knowing your bones are turning to ashes and your spirit is certainly not in the grave. So as i try to find you i find myself not finding you at all… I really wish you had more time on earth to live. More time on earth to grow. More time on earth to laugh. Just simply more time on earth. Im not sure of the point of coming to a grave where u dont reside I dont get it so for now I’m just gonna pray for comfort of losing one of the greatest friends i’ve ever had. I miss you Donald I miss laughing with you so much. I miss telling you every single thing about my love life and you guiding me in the right direction and me telling you if you know so much why you not married…. Boy i miss lauging smiling fussing fighting.. I simply miss you on earth….xoxoxoxo

This is sooooooooo sad!!!!!!! My heart is very heavy, this hits too close to home. He was so talented, cool & funny. Always knew just what to say to make a person smile. Why would someone do this! He didn’t deserve that. His brother was murdered last year and now this. I never question God but this I can’t fathom. So many young people are being murdered! For lives to end so tragically, it just isn’t fair. I hope they find the person(s) responsible for this!!!!! Please, if anyone knows anything, call or text the tip hotline. Please!!!!!!!
Rest in Peace Baby! And may they find who did this & bring them to JUSTICE!!!!!!

This Comment of the Day comes from La Toya Siobhan Archibald who writes about Marcus Minor.
I was Marcus’s science teacher 3.5 years ago and I remember him being one of the most careful and methodical students I’ve ever taught. He paid attention to the details. He’s one of the first students I did a dissection with and I remember the excitement in his eyes as well the nervousness as this was his first time dissecting.Read more
