Wow, do you really need too go and pray and ask god for the right words too flow out of your mouth or at least stop and think before you say something .you would not say things lie this if it was one of your family member.

A family is grieving

By anon on Thu, 10/03/2013 - 9:02am.

This is not the time for a comedy moment. Show some respect. If this was your loved one, i know you would be on your knees. Show some compassion. God has a plan for you for being disrespectful. You should apologize and do the right thing. That was my cousin and he was loved and had a family. Did you think about his parents when you made that remark?

Sorry for your Loss

By Stacy on Thu, 10/03/2013 - 11:53am.

I am so sorry for your loss. The pain of loosing a love one to this Boston Violence is unbearable. Enough is enough!!! What was his name? If you dont mind me asking.

Family in grief again......

By Maria on Thu, 10/03/2013 - 2:47pm.

His name is Leroy and may he rest in the arms of his loving brothers who will forever watch over him. Thank you for asking. I pray the violence ends for my family and other families going through the same grief.

Sadness

By Anon1 on Thu, 10/03/2013 - 10:48am.

This saddens me that anyone can try an make a joke out of this. He was a father to a baby and that baby no longer has his father. His family has gone through too much for this to be happening again over nonsense! Gang violence is no joke and for an innocent person to be the target is wrong. My hearts aching knowing the feelings everyone is dealing with that was apart of his life. This is disgusting and Im glad some sort of evidence is available for the police to catch everyone involved. God doesn't sleep and justice will be served. To his family, im sorry this has happened. Stay strong as you all have done over the years. Something needs to be done to clean these streets up. This is said every single time something happens on the street but something has got to give. You have a mother who is burying her 3rd son. A sister dealing with the loss of the only brother that was left and was her biggest support. The is senseless. My sincerest apologies and condolescences.

Heard it all

By NyNy on Thu, 10/03/2013 - 12:24pm.

I live down the street and I heard 6 shots and then all these people screaming... It broke my heart... especially hearing a woman screaming, I can only imagine the pain of seeing a loved one gunned down... THis violence needs to stop! May he Rest In Peace...

Show Some Respect

By anon on Thu, 10/03/2013 - 1:50pm.

its usually a punk little yuppie boy that usually not even from the city that got something ignorant to say.. who are you to judge? didn't even know leroy , the kid worked a full time job took care of his girl and child and avoided all types of nonsense in the streets and he get shot and people think its cool to just throw a smart ass joke? Leroy was one of the nicest and down to earth individual you could ever meet, You never heard his name associated with thugs and creeps. This is tragedy to anyone that knows him but will get ignored cause his name isn't Amy E Lord... I'll keep your name Ringing forever Leroy ! Happy Belated Birthday and R.I.P. Brother

Get the story out there.

By Sally on Thu, 10/03/2013 - 2:19pm.

That probably sounds naive but I feel as if more vocal outrage and noise coming FROM the community, from the victim's friends and family will make a difference. And not just memorial buttons. Call the Globe. Call the Herald. Call John Connolly and Marty Walsh. If you just give up straight away and assume that no one cares or is paying attention, then they won't.

I'm sorry for your loss--he sounds like a good man.

My family has suffered and no matter what ignorant people think my cousin didn't DESERVE to be killed! He was a good soul and we love him. It's sooooo wrong at a time like this for people to joke about a horrible situation. So sad the disrespectful people in this world. We shouldn't make judgements, that's Gods place!!! I love you cousin, your smile ( handsome smile)! I will always keep you in my heart and no matter what people say on this site they don't your gentle soul and funny you was, caring to the family. To the ignorant comment it's sad that people have NO HEART SMH. I love you Cousin! GOD watch over my family!!!!

My friend

By Sam on Thu, 10/03/2013 - 5:07pm.

I worked with Leroy every night and spent more time with him then my own family. He was an amazing guy, not only a great father and husband but just an overall great guy. He didn't deserve any of this, we had so many talks about our sons and family and how he wanted to move up in his career to take care of his family. I still can't believe this happened and I still don't want to believe it. I know he is with his brothers now and he watches over his son and all of us in heaven. I will miss you dearly, everyday my friend. No one could ever take your place.

-Your friend always
