Brother of Jets safety fatally shot in Florida

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to Abram and his family.”

The older brother of New York Jets safety Abram Elam was fatally shot, the third sibling in the family to die by gunfire since 1987.

Riviera Beach police officers were called to the scene of a shooting at about 12:35 p.m. Friday, and found Donald Charles Elam shot in the lower back, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office news release.

Donald Elam, 33, was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

The Palm Beach Post reported that Abram Elam's brother, Donald Runner, was fatally shot in 1987. He was 17. Christina Elam, his sister, was shot in 1999. Read more

couldn't agree more with " Once a Thug "...another misinformed citizen with no concept of the real world...this thug got what he deserved...he killed a person in 1989 at 14 years old and got a free pass...acquitted to commit crimes until he got shot.....FINALLY SOME JUSTICE......

Why doesn't this surprise me. You can take the thug out of the ghetto, but ya can't take the ghetto out of the thug no matter how much money you give them.
