Neighbors said they were “stunned” hearing of the young man’s senseless murder, calling it “tragic news.” Friends said they saw the victim less than 48 hours before he was found shot dead.
“He sits on the side. He smokes his cigarettes in the mornings. You may see him in the afternoon. He was cool,” Nicole, who did not give her last name, said. “It’s shocking that a young man lost his life in his own home.” source
Nazareth Area High School tweeted about the 12-year-old’s passing saying they were in disbelief:
“It is with great sadness and utter disbelief having lost a member of the Blue Eagle Basketball family at such a young age. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Duignam family,” the tweet read.
