Spargga it’s good to see that your not using violence with violence like you said going up against corrupted cops is not the way to do things. It’s already enough of our young people dying in the hands of the law, why shed more blood? I’ve been in a similar incident when my friend Sean Bell of New York was gunned down in the 50 bullet shoot out with the NYPD, also in the car with him was Trent Benifiled, Joseph Guzemen, all three was shot but one fatal. It was said too, that Sean Bell had a gun and when other officers searched the car no gun was found. He was 23 at the time of his death but like all good and young men they always die young. My prayers or with you and your family, stay strong in now that Justice will get SERVED.
My GOD continue to be with Spragga and his family. God neither sleeps nor slumbers and HE KNOWS AND SEES ALL…. I am elated to see that Spragga has chosen the avenue of PEACE to address this issue although I can only imagine the pain that he is feeling…I am writing this from Canada and we need to come together as a people and STOP THE VIOLENCE AMONGST ONE ANOTHER….
We are a chosen people if only we can find a way to have real UNITY in the body of our people.We can all eat and live well as GOD says THY KINGDOM COME THY WILL BE DONE ON “EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN”
GOD BLESS

Very sad news. Rip to the son. The kid had a bright future ahead of him.
Spragga, my heart goes out to u and ur family. I didn’t make the connection that this was ur son, but whether or not, it is a sad situation and I admire your strength throught the whole ordeal. Such a precious baby boy, I liked him in shottas, he was very talented and I know he was heading for greatness, plus extremely smart as I’ve read. You should and I know u r very proud. He is gone, but certainly won’t be forgotten. May God pour his massive blessings on your and ur family and bring peace to you. The foundation for Carlyle is a great idea to remember him while helping other brilliants and less fortunate. I too have a son and I pray everyday cause the youth of today is not safe. big up, nuff respect.

Soooooo sorry to learn of your son’s passing. He was beautiful and now he is with Jah. I feel your pain cuz I lost my gr. Son at 15 to a train accident. He couldnt have a funeral. He too is with Jah. Its my only comfort. I believe somehow inspite of the tragedies, there is the hope of seeing them again at the appointed time. I only know you both from the shottas movie but all people who experience the ultimate yet unexpected worse, share a common bond of heartfelt love for one another. Jah knew the good in carlton and my gr. Son, lil saba, would for such a time as this, generate positiveness, hope and profound possibilities in so many. Jah’s angels they are!
Peace. Jah guide.
I’m here watching Shottas and seeing young “Wayne” portraying his father Spragga. It saddens me to know that his life was cut so short. No one knows the greatness he would’ve brought in this world. My most sincere condolences to you and the family. Much love!
It is really hard to live with the pain and sorrow of the lost of your love one Spragga, but only god knows why he wanted Carlyle by his side because he was truely an angel.
Still after all these years my heart goes out to Spragga and his kin. This needs to stop. Its crazy hpw cops are.held to such low standards and operate above the law with little to no consequences for their actions. Everyones time will come so that is my only source of solace. Jah Bless
