Modesta Centeno had long warned her 14-year-old son about visiting friends in a nearby Miami neighborhood she considered violent and dangerous.
The single mom’s worst fears were realized on Friday night when she learned her oldest child, Gabriel Figueroa, had been shot and killed in a brazen drive-by shooting in Liberty City.

Someone tell me again how “Black Lives Matter”?
Maybe he forgot to say “Hand’s Up, Don’t Shoot?”
They don’t,unless the mass media and the agenda that they push meets their criteria.
I just called Sharptons office......
he called me a white punk homo....and Hung Up on me!!
That kid was 14? He looks much older in the photo she is holding.
What difference does it make since the police didn’t do it? Just another day in the hood.
All lives matter. If you get that your life matters, you will act in accord with that belief. You will walk the walk. A person who thinks that his life matters will act with dignity and integrity on a consistent basis. A person whose life matters acts with self-discipline and self-control. He pursues a course of productivity and responsibility. He rarely gives in to base and destructive behavior.
A person whose life matters accepts responsibility for his circumstances, his actions and where he is in life. Responsibility goes hand in hand with power. You grant power to whom you give responsibility for your life. People whose lives matter take power over their lives by accepting responsibility for those lives.
A life that matters does not blame others. A life that matters is a life lived in appreciation and gratitude rather than resentment, hostility and ingratitude. A life that matters chooses to be productive and is committed to improving itself, its family and the world around it. The person who thinks his life matters is on a path of growth and improvement. If your life matters, you will not waste it. You will not waste your time and energy on the nonproductive or destructive, the low and the dark.
A life that matters acts with honor, dignity and respect — self-respect and respect of others. All lives matter. But all too few actually accept that their lives do matter.
Why didn’t the shooters “shoot to wound”?

Maybe a father could have provided the guidance that kept Gabriel alive?
Of course, we can't be judgmental when there are no whites involved.
No biggie..move along folks.
