Stories like this really break my heart. I will pray to God that the authorities find this scum bag. It’s bad enough to lose some one but to lose multiple family members in one night has to be incredibly hard.

my hometown has to have people that act like Conan Barbarians. I mean it is hard for even me to say positive things about Richmond. I love Richmond. Born and raised there. I used to want to raise my own kids in Richmond. But you have to be realistic in life. I want better things for my kids. I also want to see my Grandkids. I still help the community in where I was raised as best as I can but I had to get the hell outta Richmond. It is sad to see what Richmond is becoming. Sad.

I am from Hamfugel, Iran and I don't feel safe in Richmond. I bought a home in North Richmond and my agent told me it was a nice place to live. When I came home I had a homeless man sleeping my backyard and then I come home the other day and a homeless man is sleep on my porch. People walk around all hours of the night. I want to go back to Iran. I feel safer in Iran than I do Richmond.

i went to school with both of these boys. I knew ron a little more than brian because he was my big brothers best friend. he was killed on my 19th birthday this year and when people found out they didnt want to tell me because it was my birthday. Ron really was a good kid. he is 2 years older than me and him and my brother has been clos friends for over 10 years now. my brother is away inthe military and when he found out he took it really hard and is hoping to get leave so he can come tot he funeral. i live in davis now where i am in college but i too was raised in richmond. The city of pride and purpose. bUT our youth need to get help real fast or the city of richmond will collapse. they are trying to re build it physically but it needs a spiritual and mental change or the murders will contine. so pray not only for ron and brians's family and for my brother who is not doing so well but pray for richmond too!

The brothers were killed while moving furniture out of an apartment in Richmond. Perhaps the men were seeking better lives for themselves, away from the crime-ridden streets of Richmond. ..

people of richmond - where is the outrage over these senseless deaths? where is the rioting, looting, vandalizing, demonstrations demanding justice? or, is this just business as usual - so sad, but glad it wasn't me that got popped? take your city back from the thugs and ineffective police!!

Serious? Whats all the rioting, looting, etc gonna do? Not a damn thing. If people start rioting the thugs will join in and riot too. Richmond needs the power of Jesus Christ himself. Trust me Im from there. You can get a AK-47 for $200 with 2 banana clips in Richmond quicker than you can get one of these thugs to go to church. And thats sad.

apparently, sarcasm is lost on some people. a thug gets mistakenly shot by bart police and all hell breaks loose, but two decent guys getted gunned down and nothing. not a peep. and, what about the poor dude that got wrecked by 7 white punks? no outrage, no demonstrations, no rioting and demanding justice? pathetic lazy losers! man up, quit turning a blind eye or tightening your lips to the crime taking place right in front of you and put an end to the killing!

One of the happiest days of my life was when I moved out of Richmond in 1993. Because my ZIP Code changed, my auto insurance dropped $700 per year.

I don't know this family but my heart goes out to them. I understand the two brothers were close. I am a Father of two close brothers and It just angers me to know that some low life poor excuse of a human being can just walk up and take the lives of these two boys. What angers me the most is how these guys who pull the trigger to kill others really think that doing this makes them somebody. When in reality they are just to afraid to confront somebody face to face. Will they ever learn that to shoot and run is just a sign of weakness? And now they are just running scared! To afraid of going to prison only to get punked! My thoughts go out to the family for the loss of two young brothers. But remember, they are still together. Take Care...

It's really sad to see that were losing are children I grew up in the City Of Richmond and it all begin the senseless killings in 1991. It use to be a time when North Richmond, Central, and the South Side was 1 big family until the durgs started taking over are neighborhoods, streets corners and homes then it began a turf war of who is making the most money on the blocks and representing hoods. Let me explain myself a little more why they dont understand these street corners they fighting and killing for does not belong to anyone of them they dont own the land the ground or the corners they killing behind when its all said and done them corners gonna be their even after their deaths it use to be in the older generations that the children bury their parents and grandparents now its parents and grandparents burying their children this really need to come to an end. THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO COME TOGETHER THE PREACHERS MEN OF GOD CITY OFFICIALS AND PARENTS NEED TO DO A MARCH LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING DID IN ALABAMA INSTEAD MARCH THROUGH THE CITY OF RICHMOND KNOCK DOOR TO DOOR IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS GIVE OUT LITERATURE ABOUT ARE LORD JESUS CHRIST IF 2 OR MORE COME TOGETHER IN HIS NAME HIS WILL SHALL BE DONE PEOPLE PEOPLE SATAN COMES TO KILL STEAL AND DESTROY DONT GIVE HIM THE VICTORY PEOPLE WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUEOR'S WE NEED TO PRAY HOLD PRAYER VIGILS PRAYER CHANGES ALL THINGS LOOK AT OUR PRESIDENT. WE NEED TO SAVE OUR CHILDREN AN YOUNG PEOPLE DONT LET ARE GENERATION GO ASTRAY GOD ALREADY FOUGHT THE BATTLE WHEN HE DIED ON CALVARY FOR US HE IS A FORGIVING GOD SO PARENTS IF WE ALSO START AT HOME WITH ARE CHILDREN AN TEACH ARE CHILDREN ABOUT GOD WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO US ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH CHRIST ALL IT TAKES IS AN EFFORT GOD BLESS THE CITIZENS AND FRIENDS IN THE CITY OF RICHMOND
