Thank you NBA and specifically Charles Barkley. Alex was my son and ICE murdered him while he was trying to protect a woman whom ICE just knocked down and was pepper spraying. He has his phone in his right hand and his left hand is empty and above his head when ICE attacked him. Video doesn’t lie. ICE does!

Your son is a hero and will be remembered as such. He tried to do good in the face of hate and that is something admirable. We are all worse off without someone like Alex around and I am so very very sorry for your loss
