This is very sad to hear. An innocent person was killed for no reason??? I heard this was the DINER 69 ( B.Y.O.B) restaurant, and there was no one to take him to the hospital on time. People lack of humanity these days.
27 years only, whole life ahead. Very sad for the family.
Yes and Nawala is not even a bad area, can happen anywhere now.
