The victim's family were consoling each other and left wondering why this happened.
"This is crazy, it is. It's terrible and it's senseless and I don't understand why do people – Why do these black men keep doing this to each other? Just why? We don't need to do this," the victim's cousin, Tonisha Batts, said.
