Channel 9 spoke with a man who says he is the godfather of the man who died.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt hurts,\u201d Gregory Anderson said, as he wiped the tears from his eyes. \u201cDidn\u2019t deserve this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson said the family was at the scene during the investigation Wednesday and that they are all in pain.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are all crying here. It\u2019s hard to be strong,\u201d he said. \u201cThat was my son. I\u2019m the God dad , but I raised him. He didn\u2019t deserve to die the way he did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t bring my son back,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to prepare to bury him. That\u2019s what we\u2019re focused on.\u201d<\/p>\n
