His mother suffers daily from the loss of her child. She has attended to bond hearings requesting that bond for the murdered to be increased but to this date there has been no response. I think it is sad how the justice system can just allow a murderer to roam the streets free while this young man lies in a cold grave.

Chris was with his girlfriend at waffle house. He was called there by a friend who had been racing to help settle a dispute and was shot by in the back by someone that he didn't know. So please keep your negative comments to yourself if you do not know the truth of the story. Chris was a well respected young man with a bright future ahead of him. He loved life to the fullest. Why does it even matter as to where he was from? If you must know he was from Rankin County, not Jackson and was loved by many. He was just a good ole country boy whose life was taken way too soon by a senseless act of crime.

He attended Northwest Rankin and comes from a well-respected family in the community. I do not know the ins and outs, but what I can say is this:the kids gathered that night were from all races. Chris hung with all races. He was the type of guy that was liked by all. Those same kiddos that were racing were/are the same ones that gather in the Cowboy Maloney/Sonic parking lot in Flowood every Saturday and Sunday night. These are good kids doing what teenagers do. It is tragic that this happened on all sides. Street racing is dangerous; we can all agree on that, but that didn't kill Chris. A young man with a gun did. At the end of the day, two families lost their sons, a community mourns, and countless lives are forever changed and nothing will ever be the same for those who knew and loved Chris. Sad, tragic, & unfortunate all the way around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-14921162136871362712015-09-24T14:00:49.586-05:002015-09-24T14:00:49.586-05:00Wasn't the driver of the other car (silver Mus...Wasn't the driver of the other car (silver Mustang) in 2002 also a hockey teammate of Ryan Miller?

Second, no one was killed in a car accident or anything near that so to say that it is because of racing it is false. <br /><br />I've attended some of these races, it's not just minorities. I'm white. There is multiple people of different races, so do not bring in some sort of race crap. <br /><br />Also if there was a wager and anything was Chris' fault he would of paid it up. If Hicks was at fault then why was Chris killed? So say Hicks shot him over the wager and all, why would someone then come back and attempt to kill Hicks as the police were arresting him? Some of y'all are thinking all this is coming from street racing. After reading most of the comments it seems like most people are trying to rant about their experiences with street racing, that shouldn't be the focus. The focus is that a 19 year old was killed, his life was ended because someone thought they should take the law into their hands. <br /><br />P.S. the story does't seem as if it's telling the truth, maybe y'all should stop letting the media form your opinions for you and start using your head to exercise your rights.
