RIP Champ, cant believe it another great fighter killed

[CFH]

Fuck me. I just saw Killer's sig and checked fightnews to find out what happened. This is very shocking and saddening.

[leftylee]

R.I.P. I am so disheartened by reading this. This has hit me more than Gatti and Arguello. Maybe because he was active up and till this very day. God bless his family.

Can't believe it. RIP

[CFH]

This year just keeps getting worse for boxing deaths.

[DC Amateur Boxing]

God not another one.

Rest in peace Vernon.


Here's more details coming from an Atlanta TV station.


Boxing Pro Vernon Forrest Murdered in Atlanta - 11Alive.com | WXIA | Atlanta, GA

No mention of him having a gun then? He was huge hearted till the end,but once that money was shown,the savages came after him.Real shame and imagine his lil boy finding him there like that....damn cowards.

Considering how the media likes to emphasize certain things, I'm glad they aren't mentioning his gun. If he had one legally, it didn't really matter and didn't really help. Wasn't part of the story. This story explains why there was as chase anyhow-that part didn't really seem to make sense to me but chasing after a wallet thief makes more sense. I'm even more totally disgusted now hearing the circumstances around the actual shooting. In today's society, you have to damn near be paranoid when it comes to other people today. It's a damn shame.

Rest in peace Vernon.

Hey DC good to see you around. The NY Daily News says that the gun was licensed in both Georgia and Florida.
