As I type I can not really express myself.. I really miss Maurice alot we were very close to one another.. I still grieve all the time and will contiue until I can't cry no more people always tell to stop it because he would not want me to..sometimes his spirit tells me also.. I was a young lady that he really loved and looked up to so much.. But as days go by I know that I'll see him again in heaven and we'll be able to catch up.. To the person that took my half of my heart sometimes i dislike you and hate you because you took someone very close to me anyway that i love alot, but I've learn to put my anger and emotions in GOD's hands because he knows what you did.. And soon you will have to answer to him.. You only can hide for so long.. So I hope that you get a chance to read this whoever did this tradegy.. But anyways I got to keep on pushing for my love like I know he would and be the best I can be in Christ Jesus.. ! 1 Luv Forever!

This was a senseless killing. This young man was my cousin. I hope that whoever shot him will be able to live with themselves knowing that you have hurt many people that dearly loved Maurice. It appears that the young people have gotten out of control and simply have no respect for themselves or anyone else. I would just like to ask the guys that shot him how do you feel? Do you have any feelings? Did you not realize that this young man had a soul? Maurice's murder has truely hurt so many people.
Dear Pitch: As always, thanks for posting the stats on homicides--a subject most of the city's establishment would like to keep as hidden as possible. One troubling statistic about recent homicide totals: In 2007 there were 62 black homicide victims, in 2008 there were 95 and so far in 2009 there are 73--so, the crime surge in the past two years has fallen almost entirely on the city's black population--homicides of whites, Asians and Hispanics have been at steady, unchanging levels for the past three years. Sincerely and Respectfully, Ernest Evans
