    To the person who wrote this story….your an idiot. Get your facts straight before writing about someone’s child let alone my little cousin. How would you like someone writing a false story about your family member right after their passing??!! You should be ashamed of yourself. You need a new career because you suck at what you do. I will be putting in a complaint regarding your story. Take his picture down from your false article. You don’t have permission to use his picture.

    I’m a father that was just informed of this horrible accident by my 17 year old daughter and wanted to put this out there that it was the Staff at the media group that submitted this apparent bullshit story as fake news does to get hits to sites they get paid for. These types of news reporters are scum of the earth! My thoughts and prayers truely go out o the family and friends!

    Do you people read the story? Or can you read? The story said people told the reporter that it could have been gang related not that it was gang related. I also love that you do not mention the reporter put a link to the go fund me page I am sure that has caused some money to be donated to help the family with the loss of Marques?

    from what i was told he wasnt on the freeway,it was on the street, no matter what a young soul was taken and left a family and friends with the greiving and sadness. opinions that are rude should not be shared, may this child RIP and family have the closure hey need to move on. My nephew was killed and we have no closure and it haunts us everyday.

    This story has incorrect information that is irrelevant to the tragic death or Marques. It is very sad, insensitive, and disrespectful to all the friends and family of Marques to read. The writer and publisher lacks compassion by adding in that nonsense regardless if they added in the Go Fund Me link.

    He was a good kid and sadly passed away way to young. My 2 sons were the best of friends with him. He will be missed dearly by all.

    I urge the readers that did not know Marques to stop saying such unkind words. His friends and family should not have to read such hateful harsh words. They are already going through the most difficult time and should be surrounded by love and comfort to get them get through this. Please have some compassion. Let Marques rest in peace.

    I KNOW THE CHILD PERSONALLY.
