A doctoral student and a soon-to-be dad were gunned down on the same South L.A. street where they grew up together.

Jose Antonio Flores Velazquez, 23, and Alfredo Carrera, 24, were childhood friends who shared a bright future.

“They didn’t let him finish,” his father, Ramon Valdez, said in a telephone interview with The Times, his wife sobbing in the background. “He was just about to see the fruits of his labor.” “Jose was an incredibly promising student in astrophysics and was a rising star in his field,” Bullock said. “We were fortunate that he came to UCI to pursue his PhD. His loss will be widely felt and mourned on campus and in the community.”

Anabel Carrera, the man’s sister, said her brother had been studying at Cal State Northridge and was hoping to one day become a safety inspector for the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. But he recently stopped going to school so he could take on a second job and provide for his new baby, she said.

Kész tragédia! Nyugodjanak békében.

This shit has got to stop. We need sensible gun laws now. 😔

No deterrent to crime: a good lawyer can fix it. In the land of the free.

Gun control laws could have prevented this tragedy

Guns and not community norms are the problem. Right?

Soft laws and sentencing + soft kindergarten prisons + no family values + failing schools + plus what’s in this for me politicians + so called ACTivist (they ACT they don’t solve problems) photo opportunity Governors & Mayors = Gun violence. Let’s see results not PR & promises

You can't go home again.

So much promise. What a tragic loss. Use necessary resources and find their killer(s) MayorOfLA LAPDChiefMoore JoeBuscaino CurrenDPriceJr mhdcd8

How many more shootings &,domestic terrorism before Repub’s will agree to pass sensible gun controls? Maybe they want US living in fear ?VeteransAgainstTrump

Heartbreaking.

Heartbreaking gun violence

Turn this story positive. Think about these two friends as two behemoth bad guys, New York Times, and Los Angeles Times. They've been spreading bullshit for 50 years, and the bullshit is really coded terror comm to soldiers in the field. Now, they're both on the same street.

Terrible. Where did the shooters learn their evil moral values and disregard for the sanctity of human life?

How's the rent there?

Daaaaaammmmmm......

Wow...LA is the place to live.
