"He got a three month old that will never know him"
Father and U.S. veteran Ladaryus Bass recently had a daughter. That three-month old baby girl will not grow up knowing him due to an act of senseless violence. Police found his body in the middle of the road the night before New Year's Eve, and they still do not know who pulled the trigger, or why.
