My brother went to Simeon with Ben and my bro was a sophomore at the time. I was 4 years old in 1984 and I remember my brother came home crying and telling our parents that Ben was shot and killed outside a convenient store by some piece of shit thugs. My brother even said Ben had so much potential to be a NBA legend and would have been inducted into NBA Hall of Fame by now had he lived. Always the good die too young.

The story touched us so Much...tht til this day our "catch phrase" for when anything is important & it has 2 b emphasized is "WORD 2 BEN".When we say tht,it has meaning,truth,etc. Just wanted 2 share tht.

@nowatout I still think about this a lot. I remember this like it was yesterday. The city came to a stand still when this happened. It was such a senseless killing. All Ben did was bump into the guy from what I heard and even said excuse me to him, and the punk just shoots him down like a dog. I hate thugs to this day, no sympathy for criminals, you can execute them all as far as I'm concerned because all they do is execute innocent people.
