      I personally knew Naquan well as a good person and the media did make him seem like a monster… He made a mistake that shouldn’t have went unheard.. But their were others involved as well but they seem to center naquans life in the most.. He did make mistakes but their is other ways to punish him without taking his life.. People need to stop with the rude things they are staying about him because to society he may seem like a nobody but his family and friends seen a whole different side of him. R.I.p Naquan
