Live by it, Die by it. People died innocently why? cause he killed them. we aren’t God to judge but we all know he wasn’t a good example so STFU!!
peace be with the family and friends of this guy. as to what i understand he was no angel the bible say you live by the knife you die by the knife.so my ppl be content that was the life he choose so destiny called . no need to rejoice no need to try justify his life. he must have done something to the person . why would a person brutally kill him for no reason? wake up my ppl wake up and live. and to the ppl that is sadden by his death were you sadden when he killed the ppl he killed? just my two pence.
Who is d man they have in custody I wish they sentence him to death by Dominican police to soft and stupid. They butcher d man like a cow. His neck was white n bumpy like chicken grease it has other I just hope they face the concequences. Rest in Peace Ti Freddi we all miss you

Last week Wednesday he & ‘cannot dress’ showing me gun sign with their fingers on d road. Them man doing all kind of none sence with their bikes n ting in the road and still want to be intimidate ppl in the process. They circle my vehicle how many times but i kept looking them in the eyes. Their friends & family doesn’t talk to & caution them and then when someone put them to rest everybody want to bray. It have a set of young boys that need to stop doing people that work hard for what they have things. Work for your own.

Wow despite what he did the bible say to forgive. Am not agreeing with he did. But i Still don’t believe is the right time to rejoice of death. We need to come together and pray for our children.
haha larisa i back u 100 % haha die pig dieeeeeeeeeeeeee
I don’t know him, but from what i heard he was involved in a lot of things. so what? No one gave life so no one should take life. I hear a lot of people saying he deserved it. Nobody deserves such a horrible death no matter what. Suppose it was one of your relatives would death be ok then? May his soul rest in peace, cuz no matter what he was involved in this lil dude must have had a good side of him. and i cant imagine what his family is going through.
Them man too like to play like they not Human. One life we have nothing out there can’t provide two.Estate man always doing ppl thing and getting away with it. Bring back what bike? Something happen you first that running and take bike and take chain cause you top dawg. They need to learn to respect ppl.
I myself have a cousin that like to play top shatta, but they hashay his … more than 4 times since his mother bore him and he still playing an … on government road. Them young boys always in some kind of shenanigans next thing you know they’re in a grave. Peace and grace be to his family, but let him be an example to all the youths of Dominica. Let it be known and understood you can Die and you’re not Invincible! After living gangster there’s no peace after death! There is a God up there in the firmaments waiting for you all to come home, but remember.. Not all shall come ‘Home’.
Vous pouvez vous facher .vociférer pleurer cela montre bien que vous vivez dans votre petit monde et que vous acceptez et soutirez tout ce qui est mauvais cela ne m’etonne pas qu’avec ce genre d’amis que ce jeune n’ai rien fait de bon dans sa vie et surtout il avait un palmarès pas négligeable à son âge.oui c’etait le fils le frère le copain de beaucoup mais les autre victimes avait des personnes qui les aimaient aussi c’étaient pas des chien alors je n’excuse personne mais si c’etait vos amis ou ami familles qu’il avait agressé vos propos seraient différents.
Ce qu’il a fait aux gens je le cautionne pas même si je le connaissais mais je n’accepte pas qu’on parle mal de lui maintenant qu’il est plus là.
Even if that’s was the case never judge someone because they sin differently from you and regardless of what lifestyle they live they still got good in them.
Larisa u think I’m gonna let you saying bad things about my cousin …. YOU BITCH!
They putting 17years like he was so innocent… Them young felllers want to be in big man ting want to be partof street life and dont wanna play the game fair..

Hope the rest of them dumb little boys playing big learn..
