  1. Loss of a life, for what? For a joyride ?!? It sickens me knowing the disregard for another human’s life that these juveniles have . Justice will be served but the void in my families’ heart will never be filled. His father will mourn his first born, his siblings will ache for their brother , his children will never be the same , and his grandkids will never get to see the smile on his face at Christmas, Birthdays, graduation etc. How can you live with that ? I pray justice will be served. Lives lost for nothing. God help us all, living amongst wickedness, greed and fools.

    1. My heart breaks for Mr. Diaz’s family. My son worked with him and thought very highly of him. I have been praying for all.

  2. Damn this senseless shit eats mu soul. So sorry for your loss. I pray for your family to get swift justice and your strength. I hate the times we live in. No one gives a damn about anyone. I’m losing hope om humanity. I damn near keep my kids in a bubble. But i know i have to let them grow and send them out in this den of wolves. Sad for me to say keep your head up in this tragic, unnecessary lost of a beautiful soul.

  3. This was my cousin, brother and friend. On his way to work to take care of his family and anyone he could. I’m still in disbelief. Why did this even happen lord. My cousin will give up his last to help anyone. I will never be the same. There is no justice for me. I will never see him again. STOP THIS SENCELESS KILLING PLEASE…
    He definitely didn’t deserve that. Why…😢

  4. My heart breaks for the Diaz family.. I want to extend my deepest condolences and pray God provides you with strength and understanding…
