Inglewood officers responding to a report of a shooting victim found Hodges "lying halfway out of a vehicle that was parked in a driveway," according to an Inglewood Police Department news release.

Hodges had been shot several times in the head and the torso and was treated by Los Angeles County paramedics before dying at the scene, police said.

As the loss of my relative inflicts enormous grief upon the individuals who loved him, as well as the fact that the commission of a murder is highly detrimental to the good order within society, most societies both present and in antiquity have considered it a most serious crime worthy of the harshest of punishment. In most countries, a person convicted of murder is typically given a long prison sentence, possibly a life sentence where permitted, and in some countries, the death penalty may be imposed for such an act. A person who commits murder is called a murderer . No one had the right to put out a light so bright especially when we have so many family members dying senseless in the streets! The only thing that brings us peace is our wall of salvation! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and one day as this pain and grief will come to an end! I love you Bobby

And for the ones that were comissioned to create such grief all I have to say is Deuteronomy 32:35
