Responding to David’s comment, It doesn’t matter what time of day he was out no person has the right to take another person’s life. Put some respect on Nicholas Miller name.

Some of you people commenting are so disgusting. Whether someone raised you or you raised yourselves that way… you oughta be ashamed. This young man was still someone’s child, and his parents will one day see your comments. Maybe while they’re grieving but hopefully not and well… you ignorant people commenting… yall are the real MVP’s. The ones that deserve the bullet. I know what you’re probably thinking too, that he was my friend and no. Never met him, never heard of him but I know disgusting when I see it!

That is an old mugshot, from when he stole a gun, car, and stalked an older man. He stopped him with a friend, and crushed his face.
He had grotesque priors for beating and menacing family, and at least on restraining order.
Died like he lived. Exactly the same as the guy next door. He nearly killed our little downstairs neighbor,our son’s schiolmate trying to shoot his mates while WEARING AN ANKLE BRACELET
The boy below us whose bedroom was shot up was barely 7 years old.
Somebody needs to find out why this reckless maniac was on our streets.

And I’m sure his Mom said ‘But he was such a good boy’.
Now there’s one less of him walking our streets.

Terrible. I hope they catch him and get him off the streets s oomer than later, everyone knows who shot him. Prayers sent to the victim’s mother and family, this is so awful. Not acceptable in any way shape or form

Yes just a poor boy out for a night of ganging and banging. No biggy as long as innocent people don’t get hurt

He wasn’t innocent. The “drip” was a punk ass kid who gang banged assaulted people and ripped people off… I forgot, he carried guns too! WTF was he doing down here at that time from Bridgewater anyway? Fighting and being part of a commotion that cost him his life? Mommy’s best friend should of been home with Mommy and away from New Beige. Live by the sword, die by die it. I don’t feel sorry for him, I feel bad for the victims he hurt in the past, including his mother! That’s who i feel bad for Obviously that’s a mugshot of him and now his family has to deal with that! No winners either way! Justice is around the corner for the other cat too! Just a matter of time.

One you probably didn’t personally know my son and if you did I expect your one of the scumbags that I warned him about. Nick was no angel but there are worse out there. And he was my best friend my son a life that was taken. Assholes are either born that way or choose to be which one are you?
Nick
August 23, 2024 at 7:22 am
yes I do know your piece of shit son he ran out of my house with my back pack 3 years ago robbed my early in the morning like a pussy so he wouldn’t have to fight me when I was asleep he took off with all my stuff I had in my backpack. He is a piece of shit and he would have killed his own friend if someone didn’t put a bullet in him first everyone on cape knows he is a scumbag piece of shit that’s why he went where all pieces of shit men go. To New Bedford where he got what he deserved I lost a lot of money when I gave your son a place to stay, he said he had no where to go that night and i felt bad for him but then I learned when I wake up to my stuff stolen that all he wanted was to act like he had no where to sleep so he could rob me while I slept so I don’t feel sorry for you at all your son was one of the worst people I’ve ever met and I’ll say it again I’m glad his own friend he met out there killed him cause if he didn’t drop him then Nick would have killed his friend one day over some small money bullshit
Nick
August 23, 2024 at 7:44 am
Your right he wasn’t an angel at all he was a little demon that got his card pulled and he wasn’t strong enough to fight the guy clapping him so in other words don’t bring a knife to gun fight dummy and Nick is a broke homeless bitch he would never have any money on him so he would never ever be able to afford to buy a gun that’s why he always had his little knife on him and that’s little knife won’t save you from the big gun
Omg Nicholas what have you done?
August 26, 2024 at 2:01 am
Oh Nicholas isn’t around? Never saw thy coming lmfaooooooooooooooooooo😭😭😭

I am reading these comments and in this day and time it is a sad situation! Wrong doings need to be dealt with, but no human has the right to take another human beings life and none of us down here on earth are gods and the more you judge someone so harshly whether you believe in God or not that’s how you yourself are going to be judged. No one living in this day and time is perfect, no one here has no sins is living sin free so just be careful of how you judge people whether they was terrible or not. We’re not the ones who are supposed to be judging. No! I don’t know any of these people. I just know we are living in a selfish, racist, destructive cruel world right night….. smh

Dudes a scum bag fuck him and his whole family. They raised a real piece of shit. He ripped me off too I fronted him everything and he still had his boy beat my ass after I handed everything over to him. I had 4 bands in my Gucci wallet and he didn’t take that thank god. Clearly he wasn’t all that smart. So technically I donated 3K to his funeral. Hope he left Pat-Rice some of that. Rest in piss
