According to Gillie, it was the police who had recently informed him about the same. The conversation started after the host, Shannon Sharpe, asked Gillie if he talked to the kid that killed his son.
To this, Gillie replied:
Nah I never met him. Only reason I knew is because the police called me and told me once he was murdered. Cause the kid had just got shot 17 times he was walking with his mom and he got murdered and then the police notified me and let me know that he was one of the kids that was pretty much about to get locked up for the murder, but he got murdered first.”
He further added:
He had to deal with God, that’s how I look at it.”
