This Page was created in memory of Brad Mendoza.
he was murdered on Thursday, September 16 1999.
I created this page for his parents to let people
know the REAL dangers of drugs.
It happened on a Thursday we were all playing
basketball and a couple of guys came up and asked
if we knew anyone who could get a book of acid
and we said yes thinking we could get it for him
and charge a little extra to make some money our selves.
It was Brad,me, and another friend who's name i can't say
because the courts asked us not to mention anyones name
other than our own.i'll call him "Bob"
brad asked me if I wanted to get in on it,i don't know why i said no
i think it was because a lot of money was involved.
anyway i told him i had to see my gynocologist just to be funny and change the subject,it worked.
brad and "Bob" called this girl to get the acid and she said to give her the money and they did...we've fronted her money before so they trusted her.
But they shouldn't have, because she took the money and kept it so when the people came to get their shit. Brad and "Bob" didn't have it and from what "Bob"
said happened after that was that when Bob was putting on his hat he kind of noticed ine guy in the car pull out a gun and bob was the first one to get shot,he was shot in the back of the head and he fell to the ground and then Brad was shot in the head twice execution style and bob got up and then fell to
the ground again.Then the people in the car left and Bob got up and stumbled down the street trying to get cars to stop but none did until a trucker stopped and helpped him and got him to a gas station a few miles down the road and called 911and then Bob passed out and that was all he remembered.he didn't even know Brad was dead until after a few days.they didn't take out the bullet from his head because the doctors were affraid they might kill him if they did.
Brad is dead because of all of this and Bob is still alive but has some problems with moveing parts of his body.The people who shot them were caught and are now awaiting trial.
all of this could have been avoided if we all would have just said we couldn't get them anything and kept playing basketball.
Brad and I had been friends ever since i moved to florida,we did everything to gether no matter what it was we did it together,
he always listened to what ever I said, and I did the same...he said wear a certain type of clothes....i did.He said shave your pubes in the shape of an arrow and flash some girls....i did.i think back everyday since then and shit just flashes thruogh my mind about a million time of what i could have should have done and maybe this wouldn't have happened.i wish i would have took him to the side and told him not to do this and hoped he would have done what i said just like we've done before!...but i didn't and i regret it.
I always did what he did and he did what i did but for some reason he didn't do what i did that day,i don't know why...
If anyone happens to come across something remotly similar to this please think back to this site and think of Brad and what it got him.
incase anyone is thinking that we are druggies...we are not...we've only smoked bud a couple of times and that was it, i am not a pot head,i am not a rock head, i am not a acid freak,i don't even smoke cigarettes,but i was involved with people who did and so was Brad so if you think that this kind of stuff only happens to junkies and rock heads and it will never happen to you.....think again! it can happen to anyone, any time, any place.
