    Wow. That's incredibly sad. You'd think if a guy breaks through and becomes a multi-millionaire that would lead to great opportunities for his children. Hell, isn't that the reason anybody works hard to succeed in life? So that their children can be better off than they were?

    I feel for Nick on this.

    ^^ understand your point, not trying to dismiss it at all...

    BUT, what's really sad is somebody is dead, and that guy probably has a father and family out there, etc. hurting even more.

    Very sad and incredibly stupid. Your dad is a multi millionaire and you probably won't need to work a day in your life now you just took someone's life, ruined yours, and ruined a ton of other people's lives.

    You can take a thug off the street and put him a mansion, but he's still a thug.

    Because he was raised in the streets. I doubt Van Exel's son was raised in the hood.

    The victim, Bradley Eyo, I actually knew when he and I were much younger. I remember him as a kid running around at Nigerian parties... This is terrible news; My sister told me he died just yesterday and was found in a lake. Found out today it was Van Exel's son that shot him.

    Geez you would think two 20 year olds wouldn't be playing with guns and that they would have the foresight to make sure it wasn't loaded beforehand

    Nick van Exel made big shots. Nickey van Exel uses a shot gun.

    Deadly assassins of slightly different kind.

    You're absolutely right. I shouldn't have neglected to mention that.

    What's really strange is that this happened 5 blocks from my house.
