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.

I knew richard for a very long time and i knew steven to but i never liked him because i always thought he was a bad person i was richards girlfriend once and i broke up with him because i toldhom to get away from stevn because richard would get in a lot of trouble when steven was around.but when i found he did it i told stven that there was a lot of people looking for him and richard was not going to let him rest but i still love richard a lot and miss him.

I am Richard Martinez oldest sister what happened was tragic and not fair but Hoagie will pay for what he has done and whether it be through the courts or by GOD he will pay. My brother was not a trouble maker but a kid trying to find the right path of life. He was supposed to stay with me while my husband gets deployed but now I am alone I have named my son after him. Richard was my hero and my best friend and will never be forgotten. May he Rest In Peace……..
