A 9-year-old New York City boy was shot and killed less than an hour after arriving in the Dominican Republic for a spring break family trip, and despite several arrests, many, including the island nation’s president, want more answers. NBC New York’s Erica Byfield reports.

Omg I can listen my heart dropped into my stomach my body covered in chills just thinking how heart break to have this happen but it take it take it to rage when I heart the father friend did this. Dad just lost a friend and his son. Between the guilt of taking his son to the D.R. And the feeling of betrayal man I’m speechless I can imagine how the dad feels. I’m so so so so sorry. Rip sweet lil papi.
That is why I don't have a good friends 😢😮
the father knows more than he's letting on no way was that a random robbery especially when he's a friend of one of the men involved sounds like the father is into some thing and this was to send a message .This was planned so no way an act of this caliber is just a random occurrence no way in hell
That nose has history.
In the black American community, we call it crabs in a barrel mentality.
11 people, wow! It's a big no no to kill people. They killed one of Americas children that is a huge no no. Condolences to the family.
A beautiful boy his life cut too short. Sad
As a Dominican native, I would rather visit/go to Cuba (much safer even at night) than to DR.
Little Angel didn’t deserve that, God guard his soul 🙏🏽. That’s why as parents we must be careful who we allow into our lives, but also be careful what we do. The dad should’ve known better before choosing street life. Easy money has a price! Oh FYI, it was no damn robbery
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Sad BIdenhood CARTELS…
Sad 😢
Wow 😲 you can't trust anyone 💔💔💔 rip lil man 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
A third world country, My the boy RIP
There is reason all this happened. The father knows that reason.
THIS IS A LESSON TO TRUST NO ONE NOT EVEN YOUR OWN SHADOW
Dominicans have no loyalty to each other 👿
This is a tragedy for sure but what is the difference between this tragedy and those that are happening in the rest of the world and the US media doesn’t even show it and everything around the world is 🦗for the US media
What’s behind the US media always showing negative and picking and choosing what countries they will target to destroy their tourism? 🤔
🤔 think out of the box please.
This is a tragedy yes but what is new to learn from
This?
I will travel to my beautiful country and for sure things like this can happen everywhere in the world and nobody knows about it.
RIP you are with the lord now and yes those are caught and will pay.
Congratulations to the DR authorities unlike other countries I know are not as prompt and effective. Keep up the great work. Not to say there is a perfect system but it sure isn’t anywhere especially in the US
Just know Jesus takes the babies soul before their flesh is violated …
With friends like that, who needs enemies! WOW!
An innocent child. Wtf is wrong with this world. Please may God help us to love each other. I'm so sorry. Cowards not men.
Poor baby. RIP. Why do these demons involve children? The beef was with the father, so keep it that way. I don't get it…
Always ya own ya heard
And yet the Mexican government/the US government is not charging anyone for the murder of Shanquella Robinson with all evidence
RIP Little Boy 🙏🏼😢
There's more to the story best believe That and the Dad def knows why
It is a very sad story, but that problem began at the Bronx.
The saddest thing here is the father knows /exactly/ why his 'friend' would have him ambushed and attacked and yet is just acting like he's dumb out of self preservation.
Since President Balaguer passed away, that country has become shit now with all the corrupt presidents who are coming if they enter to steal and the police don't do anything the police are now more criminals than the same criminals can no longer be trusted even the family
😢
Dam, you escape from one hood to go too another. Talk about No Way Out!😒
Dumbinacans are natural born criminals. Why anyone would visit that island is beyond me smh
Nedd to keep out these country's Mexico the same
So…the child was the only one to die?…all of them are suspects including the father
Why they worried about the Dominican republic, these evil people in media can care less
They try to make going overseas seem dangerous there's no way I'm staying in America
This literally makes me want to throw up. So sad 😣🥲
just sad
So heartbreaking. This should not happen. Where is the police. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Omg thats terrible
Dirty business….the little boy paid……😊
That happen when the family do dirty business, the innocent people pay the price,
This is sickening and disgusting to kill a nine year old child! The truth will be revealed soon
There are no friends, stop telling your business to people, these so called friends are your biggest haters. Now an innocent boy killed.
Bad Drugs deals
First prayers & condolences to the family but damn like why you had to do that to a your friend take his kid so sad
Boy life is not Fair this young kid lost his life for nothing at all,this people took this kids life for money the sad part is what they don't realize that you will not take anything with you when it's time to leave this world everything will stay behind…
