Police say Steven Hogue stabbed 17-year-old Richard Martinez to death during an after-school fight that escalated on Oct. 8. The stabbing happened near Torrey Pines and U.S. 95. and numerous students from nearby schools witnessed the fight.
Police say Hogue pulled out a knife and stabbed Martinez several times. Martinez died at the hospital.

I knew both Richard and Steven back from school. I just can’t believe what happened and I was just informed on who was involved in this tragic event. Steven now needs to accept the consequences that are to come after what he did. I loved Richard dearly as a friend and he will be missed. May be rest in peace.

Hunter Vanzant has no idea how foolish his comment is!
He admits that he was caught up in this group of morons- “I was doing bad”.
The truth is more likely that he would have been stabbed too. Or arrested with his buddy.
Consider yourself lucky.
Doofus.
