Will Da Real One's murder left many questions

Wow, Will amazing article about you, I am just reading this, and I must say, we all do right and wrong things in our lives NO ONE lives right and perfect, but we shouldn't judge and definitely shouldn't say someone should pay for their actions by death and saying he got what he deserved, that is beyond cold hearted and harsh. Its not like the article is talking about a mass murderer who rapes and kills little kids and the world would be better off without a human being like them, this is man who struggled in young life, and turned his life around to the best he could and tried to make a living with a passion and a dream. Because he didn't sit behind a desk working 9-5 corporate America or carrying a master degree under his belt doesn't mean his decision to make money with his passion makes him wrong. Will was talented, and I give high respect to even chase after his dream of Spoken Word. Spoken word isn't largely known and to see someone try to make a living off it it is impressive, he made people see what poetry is, and introduced poetry to a lot of pple. Its obvious he made someone mad enough to want to take his life away, but to put judgment on oh he must of did something to deserve it, is just cruel.And to read that he felt something in his heart/mind that made him have restless nights before he died, makes it even sadder, if only he could of said something. Will, you held it down in the poetry world. To many of us, people thought you were just balling with money, and many envied the fact that you made money out of your own business and passion, but as this article proves, things weren't as they seemed.You carried a god given talent, and when you would read and spit your poetry you made the building have vibrations. Being in a city like Miami where people just don't give a dam and will kill for almost any reason, saddens me that you were a part of it, i truly believe, had you been able to close the shop and tour just a little bit earlier than your death, you would of still been here, Miami, carry too much hate, and wouldn't want to see anyone successful.Your poetry lives on, thank goodness for your cds, and writings because it remains here, and it will forever be, in this generation, the next generation and more generations to come, a touch in peoples lives. You don't only leave behind a poet murdered, you leave behind your gift, and thats something a lot of people don't get a chance to do when they pass. Forever in our hearts, forever in our memories, forever in poetry! Love u Will

I frequented the The Literary Cafe and I had never heard of or ever seen this Tosca until the demise of Will, where she now decides to be all over the news as his "life partner". I, like the previous poster, only knew SANDI as Will's fiancee. She is the face that I saw at the cafe, she was the one on the front row at the funeral (next to his son), her name was in the obituary, she was the one that picked out the casket, and the one that decided to put him in the suit he had on. I don't know what kind of fame Tosca is seeking out of this. But its dispicable to try to gain from someone's death. Such a shame. (I won't bother to discuss her attire).

FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Tosca USED to be Will's girlfriend, but at the time of his death he was engaged to a lovely woman named Sandra (the love of his life since around 2008-2009). Ask the family. The poetry community has come to know Sandra as Sandra BELL!!!!! THAT is who is grieving the most, and this foolishness is not helping. If this is REAL journalism then they would have noticed that this PHONY was NOT in the family car, was NOT in the front row at the funeral, and NOT in the three seats at the burial. FACT CHECK and stop letting desperate fame seekers (with a HORRIBLE fashion sense in the area of funeral attire) distract you from the important task at hand, and that is to find who murdered my friend! And you can keep deleting my comment... I will KEEP POSTING IT!

Dam whether he's Black or White, the truth is the light, you moron.

A fine intellectual killed by a coward nigger...what a shame. RIP Will.

I am here to say to the family do not know details of this murder i just want to say my prayers go out to the family of this young man life cut short in his prime.

There's a reason why we're still around and he's not!

he screwed up and paid the price...not as innocent as you make him

really...and we are supposed to believe he is innocent? don't buy that crap. And not every man or woman is important to us because when they bring their beliefs and lazy lifestyle of robbery, drugs and murder they are nothing to us and they need to die right away.,,no jail time just a bullet. Miami is pathetic because we let Cubans take over and ruin it. You never let peasants run a state or a country...they have no idea of politics...just greed and self-serviing to their breed. Peasants thinking they know how to run our cities...what a waste Miami is.

Will and another woman from Liberty City were the first ones to encourage my writing and gave me an intimate look inside life in the inner-city. It really is a loving community in many ways. No matter how bad my initial poems seemed to be, they kept encouraging me and always made me feel at home.

Come on people that crap is not poetry or God inspired verse....it stupid ass shit spewed by someone trying to act smart. Go to the fucking Opera or Ballet you losers

Listen to some of the comments by these negroes. It's like, "just another day in the office."The only way these WHITE MEN in BLACK BODIES will overcome, including me, is when JESUS GETS BACK..

By the same token. Le me explain something to some of you lame brains about what it is to be an American. To be an American means that from this point on, I see each man as a man. Not as a Cuban or a Haitian or a Mexican or a Hondoran or a Columbian. We see a person as a man, as an individual, regardless of race color or creed. How many of you can do that. Probably very few. Why? Because you're a Jackass. Any true man will tell you that every man is important, every dream is important, and most of all, the 'PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. Go inside suckers, that's where the problem is.Get the speck outcha own eye!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's too much under the rug down here and all they need is some poor political poet to bring national attention to it. Think about it. All the Black Leadership Miami has had, has come in the like of "ya done good" type of shit or Uncle Loco. The only man I can remember with some sense is the one they aggravated so bad, he went to the Enquirer and shot his own head off. When it really dawn upon the White Folks up North, what the Cubans have done down here, they'll call for Senate Hearings. Trust me,

It left no questions with me. I've been hear since 19 53 and know their is an element who fears any strong Black outspoken competition. A Black man may have pulled the trigger, but some of these killings of African Men are orchestrated by Arabs or Cubans. Trust me.

If we had all known him before, his Cafe would have been sold out every night.

This is such a tragedy. I didn't know him personally, but I got the chance to hear him recite some of his poetry. He was a great man that died for a foolish reason and he will always be remembered. RIP Will

I went to his funeral last month.

Maybe, he could have just gotten a job.

Incredible article and tribute to Will. It gives me insight into the life off this great person I've met, but never got the chance to know.
