Default RIP Charley "CJ" Ford

So I didn't know this guy personally, but he was an awesome up and coming skater. He was shot and killed in Compton yesterday in a cowardly move by a gunman still at large.

I realize this post has nothing to do with Club Lexus, but this kid was a local. His mom has lung cancer and is completely devastated by this tragic incident. I'm headed to Compton tomorrow to pay my respects and try and buy a $5 deck with his face spray painted on it. Proceeds go to help his mom out.

Yea, he was definitely on his way. He had just picked up 4 pretty good sponsors in the last year. He had a really smooth and steezy style.

Growing up in Compton must of been pretty tough and he used skating as an outlet to get away from it all. Shame in the end he still couldn't escape the senseless violence.

Good looking IS also. Super clean

Saw this on the news last night before I was going to bed too.
It's tragic, he was just a young guy enjoying what he did and then something like this happens.
I hope they catch the person responsible for this senseless crime!
