I was one of Demone's instructors @ ECC & want to send my condolences to Demone's family. He was an absolutely delightful young man & it broke my heart to learn of his untimely death. With his wonderful personality & intelligence, I expected he would have a successful life. No doubt he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. God bless Demone & his loved ones. You have my deepest sympathy.

What is the value of life? These Killers don't know the value. All they care about is drugs and gang wars. In the meantime innocent people are getting killed. I wish I were able to tell you whou shot your son, brother, loved one. i would take that reward and put it to a scholarship fund in his name. My sympathies to the family and friends.

Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to know that Demone was remembered so fondly. We hope that his killer is brought to justice and that some good can come from this heartless act.

Thank you for writing in. I am glad that you too understand that not every person murdered on the streets of Buffalo is involved in illegal activity. Innocent people (like Demone) are also affected. Also, I think that the scholarship idea is a great one.
Thanks.

I worked with Demone for about a month but in that short month he taught me that smiling was the best cure for a bad day.. We became close b4 he left so he would often text me good morning or good afternoon which i always was thought was sweet of him.. he cared a lot about ppl and made sure people around him knew he cared.... your smile was priceless... Love you always Ace the Great!....

When the hell are our shithead pols going to put some sharp teeth into sentencing laws?

How about LIFE for selling drugs? How about 25 YEARS for possession of an illegal firearm?

Remember the piece of dogshit that shot Officer Patty Parete? He was involved in a crime with a gun less than a year before he shot her!!!! Why wasn't he in jail?

Let's get some pols that have the balls to put the dregs of society away for life if need be.

I have known demone as (ace) for the pass year and I feel sick evertime I admit to myself that I will never see him again. he all way had something positve and intelligent to say. I feel so sad but I know he wouldn't want me to feel that way he would want me to simle and know every thing is going work out... I pray is death is not invain. he was love by soo many people...
