I think this was very terrible. Yes, I did know the victim. He was a good kid. Had his whole life ahead of him. Had such great goals for himself, and for his family. I believe that justice should be served, whether it was his “friend” the one that did it. Or if it was someone else. I just hope that people learn from this. Guns never solve anything. If you really look at it, Nestor wasn’t the only person who lost his life that night. The person accused lost his, Nestor’s family, and all of his friends lost a piece our hearts too!
