I knew Aaron personally and served with him in Iraq way back in the day and my heart breaks knowing that his life was cut short by some POS street punks. Aaron knew how to protect himself and it wouldn’t surprise me if these two punks got more than they bargained for. These cowards had to resort to a pistol against one unarmed man just trying to make a living.

I’m not sure about the details concerning the case however knowing Aaron I wouldn’t be surprised if the two criminals were problematic from the start. If things did escalate and Aaron felt the need to protect himself it’s because it was warranted.

I hate to say this but my hometown of Los Angeles has turned to nothing but a cesspool and I freakin’ wish that my buddy would of had a chance to relocate before this tragedy.

Please make a small contribution to assist his family during this difficult time.

RIP! 🙏 Imagine surviving Iraq to only come home and be killed by your own countrymen. Thank you for your service!

This is so sad. No one is safe anymore. This man working so he can take care of he's family. He served our country to keep us safe. And he's life is taken by 2 losers that rather be violent and steal than getting a job. Be safe everyone 🙏

The passengers must’ve had an account with Uber. Go to their home & arrest them.

The wife has no emotion 🤔
Something fishy 🎣

[danielleighton]

I am so shocked, saddened by your lose! No one is safe these days ❤️

This is what happens when they abolished the death penalty and introduced the zero bail compassionate justice system.

Poor guy just trying to make a living for his family 😢
But remember everyone pays sooner or later who ever did this will pay ❤

Haven't had a burger pull a gun on me yet so I'll keep driving food instead of people. Going WLAC taking classes to better myself. Y'all need to understand something, Uber is only temporary. Do something better with your life. Be safe out there!

Uber knew those riders were problematic in a past with other drivers.

[mvida]

with all respect due but the Wife doesn’t look traumatized at all to me

[christinely]

He survived in Iraq and died in his own country America! Sad sad sad

[carlitosanderson]

So No one is safe these days, no one!

This should be on the first 48 show! The wife seemed way to calm whole interviewed !!! She also said he did not have life insurance but there is a go fund me account established ! WTF!!! Usually the news will give out info on go fund me not the victims family member . I bet the wife was involved in this set up since it happened in the City he lives in. Detectives need to trace the wife’s phone calls !’

[scorpiogirl]

This was totally unplanned…WOW wtf. It was? You don’t say….. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[BradPitbull]
