The rapper Trina and her family are expressing grief this week after another senseless shooting has taken the life of one of their loved ones.  Wilbrent “Gonk” Bain was shot and killed in Miami, Florida Tuesday morning, according to police.  Officers are saying that the young man was found dead at the scene after being murdered by Ron Dobson, one of his neighbors.

“It hit me hard because I just talked to him. This killing has to stop. It has to. All of us grew up together and that’s just senseless,” said one of the victim’s neighbors, a man named “Trimel.”

Trimel got political in the news flash, stating that the easy availability of weapons is part of the reason that there is so much violence in many black communities.   He says that gun manufacturers are getting rich from the deaths of black youth by making guns so readily available.

“It’s a gun problem more than anything because anyone can just get a gun. I guarantee if you walk around this neighborhood now I bet you you’ll get it,” he said.

No one knows why the argument started between the two men.  Gonk had a bit of a past, with a record related to gun possession, burglary, drugs, and domestic violence involving strangulation.

Police are saying that the perpetrator confessed and is being charged with second-degree murder.
