A second friend of Oscar Grant's is killed in Hayward, CA (xpost from CA group)
http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_29419697/hayward-man-shot-sunday-dies-hospitalThey were the best of friends. Now, they're all gone.
You know the name of one friend: Oscar Grant. But if you knew Grant before he was shot and killed by a BART police officer in 2009, then you'd know that where Grant was, Johntue Caldwell and Kris Rafferty would not be far away.
The childhood friends were together through Little League, Mt. Eden High School and on BART New Year's 2009, when Grant was killed by Officer Johannes Mehserle.
They will spend eternity together. Caldwell was shot dead in 2011; Rafferty, 30, was taken off life support Thursday, his organs donated after he was shot Sunday.
