I agree but they should've closed that racially charged argument about prejudice, hoods and gang related crime because it can't be ruled out and it's not a prejudice, it's an observation and a good point to start from. Compassion and empathy is interracial and if you want to end racism, stop talking about it. Quoting Morgan Freeman, and I would add, stop insinuating too.
@@litostakkz24K Now you seem to be baiting. I take it as he was incredibly talented at a very young age. People say the same about anyone who can accomplish so much in such a short amount of time. Stop whatever you are implying. It’s old. 🥱
Ask yourself, who was supposed to meet him? Maybe they did meet him. Someone had to be mad over some track or something. Or random acts in the neighborhood.
This was very sad to watch. This young man was obviously a very special person because even 15 years later he has people shedding tears at his loss. Hoping for a solution to his case.
@@kingofuseddurablecars.ls6040they mean it’s still so raw, feels like it just happened, the way people remember him, the impact his loss still has not only on family but the whole community. Jeez calm down and put some effort into understanding what is being said before making such rash comment. Who raised you?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a reporter display so much compassion and empathy on her face like this one has! It looked like she was holding back tears as she sat with his parents.
That’s the thing though…even though she says it-it’s NOT ok. 3 cowards drove up and unalived a young man in the prime of his life. Not only that, but it’s 10+ years later and his family/friends obviously still miss him dearly and there STILL are no arrests/convictions and no closure. Someone one knows something. I’m sure the idiots who did this bragged to someone or let it slip seeing how long ago this happened. The mom is right though, you CAN’T run from God. Justice is coming one way or another.
@@Brian-gh7fj I understand what you're saying here, but she did not say it was okay that a young man was murdered and that the killers run free. She said it was okay for that man to cry thinking about his lost friend. Two very different things.
I just woke up, went to RUclips, found this, and I am sobbing five minutes in. His beautiful parents. How does anyone survive after losing such a glorious light in the world? How could anyone hurt this precious man? I'm almost 60 years old and the cruelty and unfairness that life deals out STILL doesn't make any sense. I don't even know anyone but my heart is most definitely heavier knowing about it. I pray that justice and peace find this family and cradle them in love and healing. I'm so sorry this happened at all.
@@mandie144 oh sweetie, you have to shine! Don't ever let fear make you afraid to light up the world!

When will we as a race be for each other instead of against? This is how we got colonised in Africa. This is how we even sold each other into slavery 4 peanuts. Until we make right with each other we are unlikely to succeed.God help us 🙌
Wow this the first one I've seen and it's in my City(Los Angeles)😮sad to hear 🙉 hear this but I'm not surprised! Way to many haters in Los Angeles.Black people are our own worst enemies! Truth is people are scared 😳 of others doing good and they not!
To hear Kevin's mother breakdown and repeat in a whisper "he was murdered" just broke my heart into a million pieces. ❤ I pray that this family does get the Justice they so desperately need for their son.
Man his mom has a extraordinary amount of grief for Kevin. She really loved her son, she wont ever find peace. I feel so much for her. What is frustrating about this is that you dont know who murdered your loved one but you do know they were friends with them. Which sucks. And its nice to see the full episode uploaded on youtube with a lot of attention. It gets it out there. Those perpetrators who participated aren’t the only ones who know, their peers around them know something too and probably could care less about telling anyone about it.
If there were 3 people in the car, then that means that there are probably two dozen people who know something but who have just been "minding their own business" for years.
Its crazy that they stick together like that, even seeing that this kid had no type of involvement in that type of life and how much pain its caused the parents. They still wont “snitch”
@@edwardcashh924you people don’t seem to understand how dangerous snitching is… you’ll understand after you run your mouth then wake up at 3am getting your house shot up and your whole family at risk of catching one

The fact that he was uneasy and felt something was going to happen speaks volumes. There’s more to this story than meets the eye. He knew that he was dealing with some sketchy individuals.
To see his parents suffering through such inconsolable grief truly breaks my heart. I will remember Kevin, and his family in my prayers always. Justice for Kevin❣️
It’s heartbreaking for both the parents that they lost their son. It was even more heartbreaking that because of that loss their marriage also ended. I’m really glad the father drew comfort from the Lord. Will be keeping them in my prayers
I’ve seen this story multiple times over the years and every time that I watch, I hope for a different ending. I want his family to get justice so badly.
I love that they used his music in the episode! This is one of the best 48 Hours I've ever seen. So much compassion and depth to this story. Excellent reporter and producers.
I feel so much for his family and friends. This is the most moving and personal episode of 48 hours I’ve seen. They really worked hard to make sure we understood and honored Kevin, as well as empathize with his parents.
My heart breaks for the parents. The love they had for their son. I can only imagine the pain. Hopefully some justice can be served for Kevin's death. Rip Kevin
@@mtio2807getting 'full justice' implies that both parties are fair & square in the end. Their son is still gone forever. There's really no such thing as FULL justice for the loved ones of the deceased.. it isn't humanly possible. SOME justice is all that can be achieved
Or the perception somebody ‘has everything’ because they can’t see the dedication and hard work behind their success. Maybe jealous of his intact family too.
My friend it's a pain that will never go away ,as time passes she just have to find comfort in the hurt and it get a little easier day by day. Sip young king💔🕊🙏😔
If the FBI were still investigating this case, they should bring charges against Desmond Carter, and have him take a pauleygram. He is the only one who had communication with Kevin, and was scheduled to meet him. If he didn’t show up or never call to cancel or reschedule, he’s your guy. This isn’t hard to resolve. Bring him in again, I know this is bothering him, and he should name accomplice too. It’s right at this point. Kevin II Parents have waited for years for their closure. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
So glad they profiled this story. So many times, our stories aren't told or heard on the news. Hoping that justice delayed isn't justice denied for this family & community.
As someone who has worked for a commercial recording studio company, I don't care where a recording studio is located, they are all sketchy AF! We have managed properties in the best and worst parts of the city. And the people who "hang around" these studios with the producers and performers, no matter the genre of music, all seem to be carrying guns. There were several times that we had to deny entry into a studio because of all of the people "hanging around". Ask any recording studio sound engineer, and they will tell you about the fights, shootings, and stabbings.
So true. When a young black man named Stephen Lawrence an aspiring architect was murdered aged 18 by racists in the UK, it totally destroyed his parents marriage too. It took many years but they found, arrested and convicted the persons who took his life for no other reason that he was a black man. 😢😢😢
This just frustrates me. How can you do that to another human? That shooter would be begging for their life if they were in that position. This is someone’s life we are talking about
Jealousy. They wanted him to be miserable because he's from the hood of LA but he didn't become a product of his environment. The fact that Brittany Spears and Rihanna was interested in his work shows how amazing his craft is. Had he still been here with us, he would've been one of the best producers out of Los Angeles. He was Timbaland, Swizz Beats, Kanye West, Dr Dre and Pharrell Williams all in one. He was minding his business and he still got murdered. But people love to keep on saying " As long as you're minding your business, you'll be alright in the hood" which as we see here is a straight up lie.
WTF Kind of world do we live in where a MOTHER is cleaning her sons blood from the street ??? Its heart breaking to see Kevins parents suffering in this way - I hope they both find some peace in their lives
When his dad said he has to turn his sons pictures around I felt that! I look exactly like my mom who is suffering with severe dementia & hasn’t known who I am for the last 5 years…It is extremely difficult to look at pictures of her before or to even visit her now because my “mom” is gone. Sure her body is here but her mind is long gone.
Bless you. Had this with my dad. Lived with and cared for him for 10 years before he passed with dementia and most days he had no idea, but I bet your mum knew you still long after she had forgotten others and loves you. Virtual hugs.
I’m sorry you and your mom are goin through that.. my dad died 2 years ago and it’s hard to look at his pictures some day. I haven’t even opened his stuff I’m afraid too.
Shame on you! Spend time with her while you have her. This is about her, not about you. Sing to her rather than speak to her, and her response will astonish you.
Studio owner or friends heard no whispers of who did it? When they went to the studio there were a hunch of people in tge driveway. No one saw nothing? Get out of here! Speak up and do the right thing
oh someone knows something for real then. I feel for the family not having answers. Also a killer is out there free to do this again@@thegracetofollow4194
Grieving the loss of someone is a pain everyone knows. Don't need to be a parent, to understand that part. It's bad when a parent(s) child is stolen(kidnapped) or taken(death/murdered. It's difficult for any person to lose someone close to them. Family or friend
Yes because most black homes in LA are single mothers.. to have both parents who are well spoken NOT the “stereotype” and just good Christian people not on drugs or in prison in Englewood area is not heard of much.. Strong black families matter 🖤🖤🙏🏿🙏🏿
I almost turned this episode off multiple times, but I made it through. The pain that I’m feeling for his loved ones is just… too much. I don’t think I’ve ever had this reaction to a true crime show, but I can just feel the positive and pure vibes each time they show Kevin’s picture. I truly hope the person responsible is brought to justice sooner rather than later.
He was setup for sure. There are too many “coincidences”, the biggest one being the “rapper” whom he was supposed to meet NEVER showed up. He didn’t pull up to even act surprised as if something transpired, never drove past and via the studio owners own mouth ..no one ever really comes on Sunday nights and to be ambushed RIGHT as he arrived. Somebody was envious or felt disrespected. This young man had gods light all in him, you could feel it through the screen. Major condolences to his parents and to whomever participated in this young man’s untimely demise , in the words of Kevin jr’s mother “you can’t hide from god”. His wrath is gonna make you wish you hadn’t even been born. May god have mercy on the perpetrators soul cause they’re gonna need it. Fly high Kevin 🕊️
I've watched many true crime stories. This was heartbreaking from the beginning. His father.. 😞😞😞 so street smart, intelligent, understanding. Composed and broken. Their loss broke them. Their divorce broke me. So saddened this family is no longer. When tragedy strikes you are left with nothing, but thoughts and a need to find peace. God rest the deterioration of their souls. #JusticeforKevin
His parents seem like incredible people, just like Kevin was. I was so sorry to hear they divorced, but they still seem close and determined to get justice for their son together.
No parent should EVER lose their child in such a horrific way. My father, who was turning 32 in 4 days, was murdered when I was 2 yrs old. It was absolutely devastating for my family. He was such a wonderful young man with so much potential for a bright future. It’s sad someone took that away 😢 The grief never goes away. You just learn to live with it.
The initial investigation was botched. They must’ve treated the case as with less regard with the assumption that it’s gang related. In doing that they missed a lot of opportunity in catching the killer/killers. Same with when a female prostitute is murdered, the police don’t take the case seriously.
He looked so much like both of his parents!! Its unfortunate that his parents divorced, but grief can do that! I hope they solve this case! I hope they both find comfort, answers, and peace❤❤
Sitting in a car is always a mistake it's sad you can't do normal stuff like that these days its starting to be a common thing to get killed sitting in a car 😢😢
I can sit in my car all day and not worry about anything. I don’t lock my home when I leave for work, or lock my car ever.. my keys stay in the ignition of the vehicle always. I live in the U.S. also. I’m so glad I moved here. Reading your comment reminded me of how nice I have it.
@dwightchaos I do too! I sit in my car every day for about 10 minutes, I work in a Trauma ER so I regroup get “other people problems” off of me! I never take those spirits in my home SITTING IN MY CAR IS THERAPY! So I’m blessed to feel and know I’m safe BUT I’m always aware of my surroundings and glocked up 😉 because one of them would have caught it
The pain an individual feels from grief is so intense that it hurts to be around someone who is also suffering from the loss. It becomes easier to create distance. After all, what do you tell another person to comfort them when you can’t even comfort yourself?
I really needed to read your comment today. I was bullied and shunned by my former stepdad and younger half-siblings after the passing of my beloved mother. People often told me how much I looked like my mom, so maybe their cruelty was so that I would go my own way bc seeing my face was too painful of a reminder of her. In all these years since, I never once thought about it from this perspective. Thank you for sharing.
I grew up in Inglewood. Some areas are worse than others. My parent's too did their best to protect us and shelter us from the drugs and violence. Thank God and my parent's we came out alive and thriving. My heart goes out to the parents. They did the best with their boy and these thugs took him.
The last several full episodes suggest a troubling theme of investigative ineptitude and thus the need of the grieving family (typically: parents) to assume the role of detective. I cannot fathom what these parents go through, but their tenacity and enduring love are inspirations to us all.
This was absolutely heart-wrenching to watch. I just want to reach thru and hug Kevin's mom & dad.....their pain is written all over their faces. I can't imagine living in a world that had taken my son away. I'm so sorry that this happened. Kevin definitely deserves justice. And I truly believe it's coming. I feel like when LE says gang related they don't necessarily mean Kevin was involved in a gang. They could mean he was caught in the "crossfire". Just like so many other innocent people have been. That's why it's so horrible. Kevin's life was beautiful because he grew up surrounded by love, he grew up doing what he loved to do and was good at! But what's horrible is that evil pervades all around us- we can live our lives doing all the right things and still aren't safe. I cried when Kevin's mom said she had kept everything from the last morning she shared with her son. Even down to the napkin the juice container...that got me. I pray that whoever it is that knows something please comes forward! Idk how they can just go on like nothing happened when a good person is gone & their family is devastated. Idk how someone can watch Kevin's story and not be touched. Thank you 48 hrs this was well presented and very respectful to Kevin & his family. Much love to Kevin's parents. ❤
This young man's mom is absolutely heart broken. His dad obviously is as well, but his mom seems like she will never be able to even slightly heal, as much as a parent can atleast. My heart truly breaks for them. RIP.
I'm crying because I know I wouldn't be able to heal either. Her son was her world, much like mine and life wouldn't be worth living if he wasn't here. She has strength because she was able to be interviewed, but she is shattered.
This poor kid. I’m sure not many people have seen someone after they’ve been shot. But the look I’m there eyes is something you’ll never forget. The look of not understanding what’s happening and confused. This poor kid as humble as it sound he was. Probably had that look and was questioning why this happening when everything was going so we’ll seconds ago
My heart breaks for the mother. Her actions saving his plate he used for breakfast, picking up broken glass off the street.😔 His parents love him with their entire hearts.
No snitching only incubates crime. Report anonymously there are so many ways. I don't get it! How do people choose to suffer and stand with wrong knowing fully well they suffer even more. Nobody had a bad word to say about him yet they watch the family suffer and do nothing. That is the height of wickedness!
Unfortunately, it sounds like someone very influential in the music industry was keeping their eye on Kevin which explains the lack of police action in finding a resolution. His sound is so unique and captivating, I wouldn't be surprised if he shared his catalog and the hit songs people love today are actually his. RIP Kevin
Someone couldn't handle him being a good person, happy, and on his way to success. Along with not being able to handle their own downfalls and failures.
I pray this gets solved soon. I pray someone comes forward. His parents, family, and friends deserve justice. Maybe someone watching this will feel moved to reach out to the fbi. So heartbreaking
It's sad when a couple gets divorced after a traumatic even like the loss of a child.You would expect people to rally together and be strong for their fallen child😢
Most times I hear that’s it’s difficult bcuz they see the child in the other parent and it’s too much to bear. Also, in other cases one fills like the other could have done more to protect the child from whatever caused it. It’s sad all around. I also would think It would be like tryna fill a whole that could never be filled in every day life. Idk 😢🥺
This is what happens when ppl make their children the centre/purpose of their marriage instead of the child/children are a by-product of it and focus less on themselves as a couple
He looked so much like his daddy. It's so heartbreaking,u can tell he was his mom and dads everything. I really pray they find the people that did it. 🙏🏿❤ It sounds like it could've been mistaken identity. Rest in Paradise Kevin 🙏🏿❤️🕊️👼🏿
As a mother of a 20yr old boy,i felt the pain. Its like i knew him,its so saddening and heart breaking to loose such a young soul😢.i couldn't finish watching the episode. Wish i had skipped this particular one. May his parents find healing. Rest with the angels Kevin❤❤❤❤

The fact that he was uneasy and felt something was going to happen speaks volumes. There’s more to this story than meets the eye. He knew that he was dealing with some sketchy individuals.
Exactly what I thought, he knew he had upset someone as it was clearly a targeted hit, not just a random shooting
Jealously is evil 😩
Yeah, somebody was super jealous.......resentful...full of malice..wanting to take him down a notch...eliminate.
💯 Jealousy and greed make people do horrible things. 😢
Jealousy is the 👿
Jealousy is a strong evil emotion and will make ppl do very bazaar things get away from jealous ppl!
Not if it’s TRUE Godly jealousy is good like husband for his wife in one Holy Marriage,… also like One True Living only God for His people!
There is way more to this story than we know. Nobody shoots someone that many times without it being VERY personal.
Valid points!!!! Malicious hatred!
And didn't steal anything. And it was close up

To see his parents suffering through such inconsolable grief truly breaks my heart. I will remember Kevin, and his family in my prayers always. Justice for Kevin❣️
It’s heartbreaking for both the parents that they lost their son. It was even more heartbreaking that because of that loss their marriage also ended. I’m really glad the father drew comfort from the Lord. Will be keeping them in my prayers
AMEN 🙌 🙌
I’ve seen this story multiple times over the years and every time that I watch, I hope for a different ending. I want his family to get justice so badly.
Crabs in a barrel 😢He was going somewhere and someone didn’t like it
This story breaks my heart and makes me want to hug the mom and dad. This is horrible. 😢
Mine too. This one and all the other ones here on 48. 😢...
IKUR! SO 😔 MY GOD!
I love that they used his music in the episode! This is one of the best 48 Hours I've ever seen. So much compassion and depth to this story. Excellent reporter and producers.
15 years later and no one has any info?? Sad.
Ban guns
@@MoneyMan28NO
I feel so much for his family and friends. This is the most moving and personal episode of 48 hours I’ve seen. They really worked hard to make sure we understood and honored Kevin, as well as empathize with his parents.
My heart breaks for the parents. The love they had for their son. I can only imagine the pain. Hopefully some justice can be served for Kevin's death. Rip Kevin
*for their son.
No! Not “some justice”. Full justice. “Some” of their son wasn’t taken.
I hope his parents find some peace in their lives .... The pain and grief they are enduring I cud not even begin to imagine
@@mtio2807getting 'full justice' implies that both parties are fair & square in the end. Their son is still gone forever. There's really no such thing as FULL justice for the loved ones of the deceased.. it isn't humanly possible. SOME justice is all that can be achieved
I second your feelings! I feel the parents' pain.
Sometimes people can’t stand good people.
Or the perception somebody ‘has everything’ because they can’t see the dedication and hard work behind their success. Maybe jealous of his intact family too.
Fact
Yessss , totally agree , this is heartbreaking 💔💔😢😢
Had family who cared & they didn’t! They hate that! & his Daddy was in his life! They don’t know nothing about that. So they hated him
Preach!
His poor mom, you can see 😢the pain still in her 🙏🏽
The dad as well so sad
Yes, the dad has seemed to have found an outlet and some healing. I hope the mom can seek God and counseling. Very tragic and painful.
His mother looks so damaged
My friend it's a pain that will never go away ,as time passes she just have to find comfort in the hurt and it get a little easier day by day. Sip young king💔🕊🙏😔
The grief in their eyes is heartbreaking to witness ❤
If the FBI were still investigating this case, they should bring charges against Desmond Carter, and have him take a pauleygram. He is the only one who had communication with Kevin, and was scheduled to meet him. If he didn’t show up or never call to cancel or reschedule, he’s your guy. This isn’t hard to resolve. Bring him in again, I know this is bothering him, and he should name accomplice too. It’s right at this point. Kevin II Parents have waited for years for their closure. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I AGREE
I believe you mean a polygraph.
A pauleygram is insane
@@KineetraBrewer😂😂😂😂😂😂
FINALLY 48 Hours covers a Black American story. They don’t usually do that. Praying for his parents and family.
Why you suppose dat is ?
So glad they profiled this story. So many times, our stories aren't told or heard on the news. Hoping that justice delayed isn't justice denied for this family & community.
As someone who has worked for a commercial recording studio company, I don't care where a recording studio is located, they are all sketchy AF! We have managed properties in the best and worst parts of the city. And the people who "hang around" these studios with the producers and performers, no matter the genre of music, all seem to be carrying guns. There were several times that we had to deny entry into a studio because of all of the people "hanging around". Ask any recording studio sound engineer, and they will tell you about the fights, shootings, and stabbings.
Wow. Interesting.
Perfectly said
You got to stay strapped as well bro
Ahem.. hire security guards?
Makes sense that some bigger artists have studios in their own home
I've always heard that losing a child will either bring you together or tear you apart.
I hope these parents find peace 🕊️.
RIP Kevin.
I know. I hate hearing relationships die because of tragedies surrounding a couple's child\children.
So true. When a young black man named Stephen Lawrence an aspiring architect was murdered aged 18 by racists in the UK, it totally destroyed his parents marriage too. It took many years but they found, arrested and convicted the persons who took his life for no other reason that he was a black man. 😢😢😢
This just frustrates me. How can you do that to another human? That shooter would be begging for their life if they were in that position. This is someone’s life we are talking about
Jealousy. They wanted him to be miserable because he's from the hood of LA but he didn't become a product of his environment. The fact that Brittany Spears and Rihanna was interested in his work shows how amazing his craft is. Had he still been here with us, he would've been one of the best producers out of Los Angeles. He was Timbaland, Swizz Beats, Kanye West, Dr Dre and Pharrell Williams all in one. He was minding his business and he still got murdered. But people love to keep on saying " As long as you're minding your business, you'll be alright in the hood" which as we see here is a straight up lie.
He probably got murdered for making beats for Rhianna and Britney spears.
The industry shady . Ice cube said mind ur business you live longer
WTF Kind of world do we live in where a MOTHER is cleaning her sons blood from the street ???
Its heart breaking to see Kevins parents suffering in this way - I hope they both find some peace in their lives
When his dad said he has to turn his sons pictures around I felt that! I look exactly like my mom who is suffering with severe dementia & hasn’t known who I am for the last 5 years…It is extremely difficult to look at pictures of her before or to even visit her now because my “mom” is gone. Sure her body is here but her mind is long gone.
Hugs 😢 my mom checked out age 62- but passed at age 75. The long road home...
Bless you. Had this with my dad. Lived with and cared for him for 10 years before he passed with dementia and most days he had no idea, but I bet your mum knew you still long after she had forgotten others and loves you. Virtual hugs.
I’m sorry you and your mom are goin through that.. my dad died 2 years ago and it’s hard to look at his pictures some day. I haven’t even opened his stuff I’m afraid too.
Appreciate the touch of her hand,the feel of her ear .it all means so much..my heart and prayers are with u and her🙏🏿💐
Shame on you! Spend time with her while you have her. This is about her, not about you. Sing to her rather than speak to her, and her response will astonish you.
Jealousy is real, be careful who you associate with lookout for the red flags.
Studio owner or friends heard no whispers of who did it? When they went to the studio there were a hunch of people in tge driveway. No one saw nothing? Get out of here! Speak up and do the right thing
Yes, it was strange he knows nothing...
It took him 30 minutes to answer the door
oh someone knows something for real then. I feel for the family not having answers. Also a killer is out there free to do this again@@thegracetofollow4194
Until you are a parent, you can never understand the depth of their pain. I pray for his soul to rest easy and the parents hearts to heal in peace.
Grieving the loss of someone is a pain everyone knows. Don't need to be a parent, to understand that part. It's bad when a parent(s) child is stolen(kidnapped) or taken(death/murdered. It's difficult for any person to lose someone close to them. Family or friend
I hope that Kevin’s Parents get justice for their Son. This is heartbreaking. My condolences to everyone that lived Kevin.
I'm so sad that they divorced😢I pray they catch the killer. Such a beautiful family shattered❤
That made me sad too.
Yes because most black homes in LA are single mothers.. to have both parents who are well spoken NOT the “stereotype” and just good Christian people not on drugs or in prison in Englewood area is not heard of much.. Strong black families matter 🖤🖤🙏🏿🙏🏿
I love the fact that he had such a great relationship with his Auntie. ❤
I almost turned this episode off multiple times, but I made it through. The pain that I’m feeling for his loved ones is just… too much. I don’t think I’ve ever had this reaction to a true crime show, but I can just feel the positive and pure vibes each time they show Kevin’s picture. I truly hope the person responsible is brought to justice sooner rather than later.
So true 😔🥺
Your comment is the one because it was hard to get through I got so emotional😢
I love him rocking the multiple TB fitted🥰repping my city
He was setup for sure. There are too many “coincidences”, the biggest one being the “rapper” whom he was supposed to meet NEVER showed up. He didn’t pull up to even act surprised as if something transpired, never drove past and via the studio owners own mouth ..no one ever really comes on Sunday nights and to be ambushed RIGHT as he arrived. Somebody was envious or felt disrespected. This young man had gods light all in him, you could feel it through the screen. Major condolences to his parents and to whomever participated in this young man’s untimely demise , in the words of Kevin jr’s mother “you can’t hide from god”. His wrath is gonna make you wish you hadn’t even been born. May god have mercy on the perpetrators soul cause they’re gonna need it. Fly high Kevin 🕊️
Hearing the pain in his beautiful mom's voice just makes me want to hug her so much.
I've watched many true crime stories. This was heartbreaking from the beginning. His father.. 😞😞😞 so street smart, intelligent, understanding. Composed and broken. Their loss broke them. Their divorce broke me. So saddened this family is no longer. When tragedy strikes you are left with nothing, but thoughts and a need to find peace. God rest the deterioration of their souls.
#JusticeforKevin
Well Said❤💜💜
His parents seem like incredible people, just like Kevin was. I was so sorry to hear they divorced, but they still seem close and determined to get justice for their son together.
Dear Lord Jesus Christ please give this family justice!
No parent should EVER lose their child in such a horrific way. My father, who was turning 32 in 4 days, was murdered when I was 2 yrs old. It was absolutely devastating for my family. He was such a wonderful young man with so much potential for a bright future. It’s sad someone took that away 😢 The grief never goes away. You just learn to live with it.
My heart is breaking for Kevin’s parents! You just want to hug both of them!! Praying for them and praying for justice for Kevin
The initial investigation was botched. They must’ve treated the case as with less regard with the assumption that it’s gang related. In doing that they missed a lot of opportunity in catching the killer/killers.
Same with when a female prostitute is murdered, the police don’t take the case seriously.
He looked so much like both of his parents!! Its unfortunate that his parents divorced, but grief can do that! I hope they solve this case! I hope they both find comfort, answers, and peace❤❤
Sitting in a car is always a mistake it's sad you can't do normal stuff like that these days its starting to be a common thing to get killed sitting in a car 😢😢
So true -- even in a drive thru.🥺
😭😭😭
Sitting in a car is dangerous, even while driving. We need to forbid cars.
I can sit in my car all day and not worry about anything. I don’t lock my home when I leave for work, or lock my car ever.. my keys stay in the ignition of the vehicle always. I live in the U.S. also. I’m so glad I moved here. Reading your comment reminded me of how nice I have it.
@dwightchaos I do too! I sit in my car every day for about 10 minutes, I work in a Trauma ER so I regroup get “other people problems” off of me! I never take those spirits in my home SITTING IN MY CAR IS THERAPY! So I’m blessed to feel and know I’m safe BUT I’m always aware of my surroundings and glocked up 😉 because one of them would have caught it
The pain an individual feels from grief is so intense that it hurts to be around someone who is also suffering from the loss. It becomes easier to create distance. After all, what do you tell another person to comfort them when you can’t even comfort yourself?
I really needed to read your comment today. I was bullied and shunned by my former stepdad and younger half-siblings after the passing of my beloved mother. People often told me how much I looked like my mom, so maybe their cruelty was so that I would go my own way bc seeing my face was too painful of a reminder of her. In all these years since, I never once thought about it from this perspective. Thank you for sharing.
I hope these new investigators can bring closure on Kevin's families and friends,I was following this case back then tnx 4 reopening the case 🙏
Very sad story! 20 or so years ago I heard that something like 70% of couples that lose a child end up divorcing.
Thank you 48 Hours!
Thank you for sharing his story. I really hope justice comes for these people
It was an ambush, and a set up. He didn’t have money, so obviously it was jealousy.
🛑The public needs to know, you as an individual can contact the FBI regarding your case, you do not need to wait for local authorities ❗
Thanks
Thanks ,my daughter was shot in the head she lived but I know someone very close had something to do with it. I'm calling the fbi
I grew up in Inglewood. Some areas are worse than others. My parent's too did their best to protect us and shelter us from the drugs and violence. Thank God and my parent's we came out alive and thriving. My heart goes out to the parents. They did the best with their boy and these thugs took him.
It’s hard in those south central streets for many people, some more than others
👍👍👍👍
The last several full episodes suggest a troubling theme of investigative ineptitude and thus the need of the grieving family (typically: parents) to assume the role of detective. I cannot fathom what these parents go through, but their tenacity and enduring love are inspirations to us all.
"Missed the Chance that how he would grow" best words for Kevin especially for the music industry. RIP Kevin.
This was absolutely heart-wrenching to watch. I just want to reach thru and hug Kevin's mom & dad.....their pain is written all over their faces. I can't imagine living in a world that had taken my son away. I'm so sorry that this happened. Kevin definitely deserves justice. And I truly believe it's coming. I feel like when LE says gang related they don't necessarily mean Kevin was involved in a gang. They could mean he was caught in the "crossfire". Just like so many other innocent people have been. That's why it's so horrible. Kevin's life was beautiful because he grew up surrounded by love, he grew up doing what he loved to do and was good at! But what's horrible is that evil pervades all around us- we can live our lives doing all the right things and still aren't safe.
I cried when Kevin's mom said she had kept everything from the last morning she shared with her son. Even down to the napkin the juice container...that got me.
I pray that whoever it is that knows something please comes forward! Idk how they can just go on like nothing happened when a good person is gone & their family is devastated. Idk how someone can watch Kevin's story and not be touched. Thank you 48 hrs this was well presented and very respectful to Kevin & his family. Much love to Kevin's parents. ❤
Ten minutes into this gives me the impression that this was an extreme case of jealousy.
Agree
Totally agree 💯
I feel bad for the parents...they really feel they installed good family values into him😢😢😢😢
...and kids hide so much from them - and us!
@@billstill1794he didn't hide anything...that's what his parents said...they know everything..he's a great human guy...

And if something were to happen to you your parents would feel the same way. However the internet knows different.

There is always someone close to you that doesn't want to see you become a success story.😢RIP 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
💙Rest in peace KEVIN 💙
My cousin was 19 when he was killed , we where robbed too of his life 😢💔
💙rest in peace Ciàran💙 (my cousin)
I love the LOVE his parents and everyone who knew him expresses. This is so heart breaking 💔. My heart goes out to all his loved ones. 😢
This young man's mom is absolutely heart broken. His dad obviously is as well, but his mom seems like she will never be able to even slightly heal, as much as a parent can atleast. My heart truly breaks for them. RIP.
💔💔💔😭😭😭
I'm crying because I know I wouldn't be able to heal either. Her son was her world, much like mine and life wouldn't be worth living if he wasn't here. She has strength because she was able to be interviewed, but she is shattered.
😢
I agree. Her saving his last dish, his last meal plate, going to crime scene and collecting the glass. She can't let go. Very tragic.
Watching his dad tear up and his friend cry was heartbreaking.
48hours is finally doing more black stories and highlighting their plight .Finally .
It's great. What's so sad is to see bigotry in some the comments. Comments like "why are the parents blaming the police?" Or "Kevin made mistakes".
Yeah but what’s the use ?
The plight is that the music glorifies violence but most of y’all miss it completely
This poor kid. I’m sure not many people have seen someone after they’ve been shot. But the look I’m there eyes is something you’ll never forget. The look of not understanding what’s happening and confused. This poor kid as humble as it sound he was. Probably had that look and was questioning why this happening when everything was going so we’ll seconds ago
I can tell that his parents raised him right. His death is such a waste of a beautiful talented honest young man. May he rest in peace❤
My heart breaks for the mother. Her actions saving his plate he used for breakfast, picking up broken glass off the street.😔 His parents love him with their entire hearts.
This! Her sweeping the glass up in her hands broke me. Prayers, peace, & love to all of his friends and family 💙
I’m from that area and trust me there is thousands of stories similar to this. RIP bro.
I was just thinking about that. Imagine all that heartbreak. All the families that are shattered. Its overwhelming.
I did not expect to get tears in my eyes. I feel so sorry for the parents.
As the mother of an only son...GOD please take me first. My heart breaks seeing this
No snitching only incubates crime. Report anonymously there are so many ways. I don't get it! How do people choose to suffer and stand with wrong knowing fully well they suffer even more. Nobody had a bad word to say about him yet they watch the family suffer and do nothing. That is the height of wickedness!
💯
Watching this brought tears to my eyes here in JAMAICA.......I feel for Kevin's parents and hope the case is solved soon. R.I.P bro.
It seems he was an only child. The parents' hearts are in pieces, even these many years later
I could not do this job as a interviewer because I would be crying during the interview.
Unfortunately, it sounds like someone very influential in the music industry was keeping their eye on Kevin which explains the lack of police action in finding a resolution. His sound is so unique and captivating, I wouldn't be surprised if he shared his catalog and the hit songs people love today are actually his.
RIP Kevin
What a beautiful, talented young man. So very loved by his parents and the people around him. This is heartbreaking 😢😢😢
Someone couldn't handle him being a good person, happy, and on his way to success. Along with not being able to handle their own downfalls and failures.
My heart breaks for his Mum😪you can feel her pain
Aki wewe Wanjiru.. From Lee ngugi show to here... l see you 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Mom & dad are both hurting the same..
I can hear the pain in his Dads voice as well. The way his Dad broke down crying in the car was heart breaking.
I pray this gets solved soon. I pray someone comes forward. His parents, family, and friends deserve justice. Maybe someone watching this will feel moved to reach out to the fbi. So heartbreaking
The owner of the studio looks like he knows more than he is telling. His body language and eyes are giving him up.
It's sad when a couple gets divorced after a traumatic even like the loss of a child.You would expect people to rally together and be strong for their fallen child😢
Most times I hear that’s it’s difficult bcuz they see the child in the other parent and it’s too much to bear. Also, in other cases one fills like the other could have done more to protect the child from whatever caused it.
It’s sad all around.
I also would think It would be like tryna fill a whole that could never be filled in every day life. Idk 😢🥺
Must’ve been on the verge of divorce before the incident.
This is what happens when ppl make their children the centre/purpose of their marriage instead of the child/children are a by-product of it and focus less on themselves as a couple
easier said than done and its very common
I’ve watched many marriages end after a traumatic loss like this. Too much pain and most marriages don’t survive it.
I pray someone has a conscious and comes forward with answers for this family. ❤
Several people know what happened, it’s shame people keep quiet
Blaxtivities.
Street don't talk you forget about that.
@@LackaBlacka-o1p The streets do talk just not to the cops which is sad.
@lashonnmurray2762 that's why I said streets don't talk.
But yet they BLAB OUT LOCATIONS of people.
He looked so much like his daddy. It's so heartbreaking,u can tell he was his mom and dads everything. I really pray they find the people that did it. 🙏🏿❤ It sounds like it could've been mistaken identity. Rest in Paradise Kevin 🙏🏿❤️🕊️👼🏿
I’ve seen Kevin Harris’ name all over music… and I had no idea that this happened and he was no longer with us 💔
😭😭😭💔💔💔
Thank you 48hours for putting this full episode on
It’s so sad that he felt like something was gonna happen before it did happen. I can’t imagine the pain these parents are feeling.
It's probably someone they see every day someone he thought was a friend. I hope his parents find some peace.
As a mother of a 20yr old boy,i felt the pain. Its like i knew him,its so saddening and heart breaking to loose such a young soul😢.i couldn't finish watching the episode. Wish i had skipped this particular one.
May his parents find healing.
Rest with the angels Kevin❤❤❤❤
