YOUTH MINISTER GUNNED DOWN MINUTES AFTER TWEETING BIBLE VERSE

Cops are searching for the thugs who GUNNED down a youth minister with the Boys & Girls Club of Venice California who tweeted a bible quote 20 minutes before he was killed.
23 year old Oscar Duncan pulled up and parked about 40 ft from the front gate to his house with his girlfriend. They parked for a moment, and he tweeted (sent a message on twitter-see below) a Bible quote about 20 minutes before he was shot.
He got out of his car, and just as he crossed the street to go in the front gate, a white car pulled up, and several thugs yelled out a local gang name… and fired a gun which struck Oscar in the head. The shooters seemed to have waited for Oscar.

Reports paint a very positive portrait of Duncan, noting that the Venice native who attended Venice High School also worked with Takeover Youth Ministry in Inglewood, was known as “Choir Boy,” was named the Venice club’s Youth of the Year in 2006 and created and performed gospel-inspired hip-hop.

His good friend and former room mate says Oscar grew up in a neighborhood where a gang influence was always just around the corner, but he never ever took that path.

He was criticized and taunted growing up for not choosing that path at times, but it never ever bothered him, it just wasn’t his thing. He spoke the word of the Lord, and some people didn’t like it.
His friend said that some maybe felt Oscar was “above them” by preaching, and not supporting a gangster life. His family fears that his positive message and working with youth outreach groups in Compton and other areas may have cost him his life.


A growing memorial has sprung up in honor of the young man.
