Teen killed in Roslindale shooting

R.I.P SERGIO!!!

i wonder how racist 1251970 is

Great they need to get more programs for youths to stop them from acquiring handguns and causing street trouble.

These behavior needs to be addressed early in life. We need a serious dialogue within the community.

I wonder what the statistics are in regards to the proportion of White Americans involved in deregulating the financial and credit markets in comparison to the percentage of the overall population losing their homes and their jobs as a consequence of the resulting economic crisis.

Hey CITA....
Is Sergio the one who got shot and died? If so, he is not resting in peace. His kind never do, in this life or the next.

Why don't we also look at under age drinking, drunk driving, fallen of college dorms apartments, running aways from home, kicking over graves site and child rapist statistics in your town? Why not cover all the aspect of living. When you add all the numbers to the ills of socety, it's all add up. The big picture is simply right in front when we tune in to the news. Who do you see always doing the crimes and other unlawwful acts?? It's not aways about citizens in the inner cities. Check your on town, before pointing fingers at others.

R.I.P My Bro Sergio

We love YOu!!!
You so didn't deserve this...
Much luv ur sis Jelayna

R.I.P Sergio
Your always in our hearts!!!...
Can believe this happened to you
You didn't deserve this at all :(
Luv ya Big Bro

i wonder if he had school in the morning? because that is a real late night for an 18 year old on a monday.

R.I.P sergio. You will always be in my heart.. I will never 4get our good times when we played baseball for the angels.. 3rd base & shortstop was me and you.. Side by side.. I ma miss u man..your boy.. Luis Reyes

Hoodrat...where'd you go to school? Is that supposed to be English. Now we know where education is going in the hood.

I think everyone needs to take a time out, this is not about race or education! Someone just lost a son - there is a family that is hurting out there. What does it matter why he was out at 1 a.m., what does his race have to do with anything? There is a family out there grieving and we should grieve with them. Instead of going back and forth with each other, you should be thinking about what the family is going through at a time like this - you should be a bit more thoughtful and send them your condolences and let them know that your thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time. It could happen to any one of us. My condolences to Sergio's family.

R.I.P BRO. IMMA NEVER FORGET YOU! YOU DIDNT DESEVE DIS BUT YOUR IN A BETTER PLACE NOW.

Ok a young man passed away and people are really sitting here fighting about some stupid stats lets get serious

RIP Sergio forever in our hearts

WOW! This is just a SHAME! These 'young adults" are dropping like flies in Boston! Well....as the old saying goes....those that live by the bullet/sword shall die by the bullet/sword.

R.I.P Sergioo always be missed..... FAWNDALE WILL ALWAYS MISS U

What strikes me is that all his friends seem so flip about his death... like it's just another kid shot and killed. No big deal, really. Happens all the time. This has got to stop.

Luis, Jelayna, etc. - Why does this keep happening???? What could have been done to prevent this awful death???

WHAT A SAD AFFAIR THAT THIS TURN INTO A RACE ISSUE AGAIN!
DOES ANYONE EVEN KNOW WHAT THE VICTIMS RACE WAS ?

SHAME SHAME SHAME

I AGREE WITH # 8
COME ON SOME VERY YOUNG MAN WAS SHOT AND KILLED.
HOW TRAGIC.
REGARDLESS OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU SHOULD ALL
BE SENDING YOUR CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY.
AND STOP LOOKING FOR EXCUSES TO HATE EACH OTHER

so sorry to hear about Sergio - i work with his mom and heard so many great things about him. RIP and my sympathies to his family and friends.

My heart goes out to the family. I'll pray to God for you. I most sincere condolence.

Sadly, a young man has fallen victim to the senseless street violence that plagues our city streets. The fact ofthe matter still remains that this will not be on the local news for more than 30 seconds today and that will be it.

However, let something minor take place outside of the inner city boundaries and you'll hear and see it all over the news with alot more comprehensive coverage. Young people in the hood we need to wake up. we are killing each other over the smallest of arguments, we have to start respecting and treating each other better. at the end of the day WE in the hood are becoming nothing more than statistics every single day. this is part of the plan. poor, uneducated and having kids out of wedlock is not the way to go. just because you're born in the hood it doesn't mean that you belong in the hood. the hood is state of mind we need to stop the vicious cycle.

I pray for this young man's family as well as the shooter's and hope that at least one young person out there reads this and re-evaluates his/her life and realize that we are all capable of achieving great things as long as we're willing to sacrifice and work hard for it.

I don't think everyone needs to take a time out, this is not about race or education it's about respect for one another - What does it matter why he was out at 1 a.m- IT Matters a lot You Punks need to understand the consquences of your actions.....If you do certian things you may not come home. Sergio's family is hurting because they were not looking out for him..... like good parents get involved with your kids before this happens to them.

my comment from this morning did not get posted and it was much less inflammatory than the "Dorchester" commenter.

My condolences to Sergio's family, and my sympathies to his family and friends.

People need to get a grip. Life is short and gets shorter every morning when you wake up. This could be your son, so think before you speak sometimes. RIP. 18 isnt old enough to drink, but its old enough to die for this country.

rip brO;
yuh'll stay in mah heart;
&& i hope tO see yuh uhp theree =[

My deepest sympathy goes out to Ginny, Giovanni, and the rest of the family!

r.i.p sergio.. watch over your family from up there man.....i know your in a better place now.

RIP to MY Boy SERG yu in A bettER plACE now

RIP SERGIO

you'll always be in our hearts

Rip Sergio. You already know bro, you will always be in our hearts cant believe this actually happened to you man. I have known you for the past 4 years, and had many great times playing baseball, i cant believe this actually happened to you kid. RIP BRO neva gonna forget you!

To the family and friends of Sergio:
I pray the Lord fill your hearts with peace in this unfortunate moment.
My condolense go out to you all.

R.I.P. Sergio!!!!
My heart and sincere deepest sympathy goes out to you're family. May you rest in peace. You probably wouldn't have remembered me but I remember you and always will

My condolences goes out to the family as well as my prayers. May the Lord guide them and give them strength and peace. Let God lead you all. Please take a moment and read the following scriptures:
Ephesians 4:2-3 "BE COMPLETELY HUMBLE AND GENTLE; BE PATIENT, BEARING WITH ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE. MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH THE BOND OF PEACE." (NIV)
ISAIAH 41:10 "DO NOT FEAR, FOR I AM WITH YOU; DO NOT BE DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND HELP YOU; I WILL UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND"(NIV) God bless you all. Amen.

This news took a lot of people by surprise. I am a concern mother that understand that sometimes the street's influence is stronger than the love we could have for our beloved children. It is just too sad and unverable for the parents, siblins and special friends of Sergio that we are no longer able to see him or enjoy his kind spirit, gentle heart and beatiful smile. My heart goes to those whom have lost a child, that is a void that could never be fill again. I hope that all his friend understand the significance of his death and start making desicions for a better life. God, family, and education is what would make this world a better place and you a person worth living every day. Keep the hope and be strong.
Sincerely, Griselle

This type of thing is never something you would ever want to wish upon someone, but when someone is headed down the wrong path and is involved with the wrong people and chooses to wrong others at such a young and juvinile age it's easy to get in over your head. I know sergio and the choices he made were't the right ones. I for one agree with a couple of people on this page and the question as to what he was doing out so late in a dangerous neighborhood is a factor. Where are the parents? they're home sleeping while thier son is in the next town over at 2 a.m. There has got to be a bigger involvement by the parents and iI suggest that this be a very sacrificial wake up call to the parents. they have two more kids that they can still guide to the right path that will let them do something meaningful with their lives and not give it away to the streets.

Damn SERGIO dat crazy your really gone RIP MAN YOUR GONNA BE MISSED I SEND MY CONDOLENCES OUT 2 HIS FAMILY AND VERY MUCH 2 UR BROTHERS

It is interesting to observe the although parents are the legal responsible people for this child, the goverment agencies at times do not support parents in needs to dicipline and structure the life of this young kids. How come it is legal and ok by the public system that a child over the age of 16 can determine that is ok to drop off school. What a parent can do when the goverment support this kind of situation and take away the authority from parents to manage their child?. Not always parents are the only responsible individuals for this kind of situation. This is in response on comment number 39.

My condolence to the Family.

Sergio

Our community center will miss your presence. Thank you for making a positive presence during your short stay on earth, RIP

Well first I would like to say that I am really upset and still in shock that this had to happen to the one that I love. Sergio was always there for me and was the biggest help. He was so kind, funny, generous, always positive, and loved to be with his friends and family. And it really hurt me that I had to hear the bad news in the worse way just by a phone call. I love Sergio so much and I'm just so depressed that this had to happen to him. I still don't believe and don't want to believe it and accept that he is really gone. I don't want him to be gone. But I'm glad that I had the chance to be with him and I will cherish everything that we did when we were in a relationship. I will never forget all the memories that we built together. I also want to wish the family the best and I how that everything goes well but takes time at it. I will always be here if anything and will love to be in touch with his family and would want to be there for them and for Sergio. Babes I love you and miss you and that will never change. You truly was my first love and it will always be like that. [R.I.P Sergio Ibaņez 09.04.1990-11.25.2008] And babes...someday I will go and end up seeing you again. Love you with all my heart.

I woke up this morning hoping that things would be different, but it was'nt..My Sergio is gone, and this is not someting my family & I are ready to accept..But I want to take this time to talk about my SON..Yes, MY SON!! My son was a senior in High School, not a drop out..In fact he had a college scholarship
( scored 10 ten in his school in the MCAS) & was on his way to become a mechanical engineer & A Boston Red Sox player..My Son was talented. He played all types sports, but the he exceeded in Baseball & basketball.
Why did I take the time to write this? because in the midst of our sorrow and grief, I want everyone to know who SERGIO is...My family is grateful for all the prayers..

I first want to send my condolences out to Sergio's family and close friends. I was a friend of his that will miss him deeply. I still don't want to believe that this is true, that someone would take the life of such a beautiful person. These past few days all I can think about is the memories I had with him. I met Sergio on my birthday years ago and the first thing I distinctly remember about him was his wonderful sense of humor and how everyone loved having him around. He had no problem putting a smile on my face even when I tried to be serious around him. He was such a smart boy and I just knew he had the potential to go so far in life. It hurts me so bad that we will no longer be able to be the man i know he could be. But i just want to say that we all love you Serg and will never forget you.

R.I.P. Sergio......
u will alwayz be missed and i will continue to pray for your family and friends......we love and miss you

Rest in paradise sergio !! My condolences go out 2 his family and close friends!

We can talk about that now and days young teens are getting into situations they shouldn't be. This young man made his choice and at the end he ended up dying. I knew this man and he was like any other teenager. Me as a teenager we don't belong in the child world and niether in the adult world. He was just another kid that shouldn't of been there. I don't blame anyone and I wished this never happen. I miss him and I hope he is in heaven and God has a new angel with him.

D.Copeland aka MoO...

Dear Ginny, I am in shocked and deeply sorrowed. I can't even imagine your pain, Sergio was one those kids that you never forget as a teacher. He was a gifted athlete and an awesome person. While around us he made the world a better place. He left my husband and I some really special memories. We had never come across someone who could play soccer as naturally as he did. Our love and sympathy go to you and your family. GOd is almighty, He reigns and only He knows why Sergio had to come and sit with him so early. Eternity is real.For those of us who believe that a greater better place awaits us, Sergio is already there smiling down at us. GOd BLess you and your family! May you all see the face of Jesus in all this,for with Him all things are possible.

wow this is a very sad...

Statistics, racism, finger pointing, stereotyping, is this really what this very short articles makes you think about?

A child, a brother, an uncle, a cousin, a nephew, a friend, a teammate are some of the things that come to my mind. At what point will people open their eyes to other peoples hurts and needs?

Jean~ I have and will continue to pray for you my friend. My heart hurts for you and your family. God Bless your soul and comfort your heart.

R.I.P Sergio! Unit A misses you! When Charlestown Faces somerville in baseball we will not have a shortstop during the first pitch In your memory! You were a great student and an awesome shortstop! :( i will get that first strike man! R.I.P My dude and i know you are looking down on us!

R.I.P Sergio
