A 43-year-old barber was shot in his shop while giving a haircut to an 8-year-old boy, police said. Jose Velez is remembered by 19-year-old Hassune Mawlood, who also owns his own barbershop, as he reflects on being mentored by Velez and how he acted “as a big brother.”

#NBCNews #Barbershop #Shooting
This is so sad 😔 and that poor kid witness it 😥
That’s what I was thinking.
That sad and my condolences. Dam devil is on the loose because he knows god’s coming soon
He’s been “coming soon” for at least a thousand years now. 😑
They voted for this… don’t worry about it.
I don’t care red or blue, getting popped off in all states and great viewing from overseas. Dumb Americans can’t sort their own mess.
yikes bro read the room
What’s up with people and random shooting?
Soo scary 😣
@Some random person Rap..culture?
@Dr. James Olack Because I watched a news the other day,there’s a woman got shot with stray bullet …I thought it might be the same,but this one seems targeted..Jealousy maybe
Hanif…I’ve been saying…I don’t believe 99 9 percent of these are random. I don’t. It doesn’t make sense.
A hit. Gov don’t want u making money as independent owner with them having a stake
A stake
The Biden administration, an administration that has no plan to bring inflation under control, no plan to alleviate supply chain issues, no plan to fix the border, no plan to reduce violent crime, no plan a counter China, Russia, Iran, North Korea or any of the other countries that hate us. While the White House twittles it’s thumbs it does have a lot of excuses as to why things aren’t getting better, it’s all your fault. The administration is blaming you for inflation, they are blaming you, the American people for your bad spending habits, it’s all your fault because you spent that stimulus money they sent you and because you spent money on Black Friday.
MY CONDOLENCES TO THE YOUNG BOY WHO NOW OWNS THE SHOP. I KNOW YOU WILL CONTINUE THE LEGACY OF YOUR FRIEND & MENTOR. MAY GOD BLESS THE COMMUNITY WHO MOURNS HIS LOSS.
🙏☮️💕💐😥
Here is the recommended clip that say it :

@Sara So 👈👈👈scam do not click
I work at a barber shop in Gilroy CA and our family is mourning the loss with you. Working in a barber shop is like family. After time your co workers and clients become family especially in a small town. To the young man who now owns the shop, keep the legacy alive.
🕊😔🕊
Poor kid has to go to school tomorrow with a partial haircut.
It’s sad to see such violence happening in our country.
My friends are stoked about it
“The risk to the community is low” ?! America.
Right
Sounds like he made some bad business with someone or gang activity
What on earth are those two Police Officers taking out of the dead man’s shop.
surveillance cameras I think
Something smells fishy to me
I wonder why somebody would want this good man dead?
This grieves my heart.
Stop voting for gun lovers. Or more of the same.
This is absurd. 😞
Another senseless random shooting, just a day apart from another senseless random shooting.
Over woman or money I’d be looking @ the girlfriend
Good thing you all voted democrat this past month so you guys will stop having these senseless killing…. Oh wait nvm
Adios amigo
Bet they was black
My condolences for the loss of life.
BUT
Y’all Voted For This.
Y’all even Rioted For This.
Remember???
*Defund The Police
*No Cash Bail
*Soft On Crime
*Open Borders
*Sanctuary City/State
And Y’all just Voted for this AGAIN 😂
I Guess Y’all Got What You Wanted…Right!?!
My condolences for the apparent loss of most of your brain cells
BUT
*Who exactly is “y’all”?
*Nobody voted for a premeditated murder
*Nobody rioted to ensure this murder would happen
*You don’t know that lack of cash bail in certain cities have anything to do with this crime
*You obviously don’t understand the legal reasons why cash bail isn’t always used
*The police were never defunded. In fact, the democratic led Senate passed a bill in the past session that FUNDS the police.
*A presidential administration being “tough on crime” has NEVER prevented murders. It’s not even possible.
*You don’t know that any kind of immigrant committed this crime
Also, pretty offensive to leave laughing emojis in a comment section about an innocent man being murdered in front of a child. But I guess anything goes when your only goal is to parrot inaccurate GOP talking points. Maybe you should try thinking for yourself. Or is that too hard?
Why are you capitalizing every word? Makes no sense.
Sounds like they just hated him.
Never understand how police always say the threat is low???, dude just walked In and killed a man in front of a kid and you don’t think he’s a danger to anyone with him carrying a loaded weapan?
Oh no no no ! What is happening to our country ?????
I remember Jose he was my barber too . He used to have a Barber shop in South Tacoma Way & 96 Ave . In Tacoma , He sold the place around 2015 .
What a unspeakable tragedy. America has degenerated into a horrrible place. “Isolated incident?” I don’t think so. EVERY day another tragedy. America has become uninhabitable. I’ve moved my family away. We’ll never move back. So sorry, but it’s a matter of survival. UNHCR says “refugees vote with their feet.” True. Good-bye.
🙄
When a Country takes God out of schools, closes their Bibles, removes the 10 Commandments and stops praying, sin takes over.
Carry. Start protecting yourself. You actually have that right REGARDLESS of what your government thinks
The pc of trash that did this will pay with eternal damnation and suffering..
Taking out the competition. Those m 30s have changed the community.
So so sad! When is this madness going to stop!!!😢
🙏🏾❤
Heh. Ironically the first people youd look into is the local barber competition (I mean look at how this dude is smiling). Unless hes dealing with some shady characters or recently screwed up someones hair. And whos gonna finish that kids haircut? if he goes to the next nearest barbershop it’ll probably be the murderer ironically lol.
Too soon.
Prayers
RIP
video will probably be on twitter in a few days
I wish the USA would take a note from australia and canada and say no more guns
Wouldn’t work
F Demokkkrats
America live by the gun die by the gun,… I don’t care anymore.
Just awful RIP this country is filled with evil disgusting men
pure evil, I hope they catch the killer
condolences, but …
it’s more to this story.
folk just don’t walk in barbershops + randomly shoot.
some type history involved fasho, j/s.
/bklyn 👑
If he was such a good guy, why he get shot! Shady dealings.
The guy was a success and someone hated him for that sad when jealousy kills sad world 🌎 we live in ain’t it
Jealousy evil because he’s a real solid man and that intimidates weak boys in a grown man’s body this world is so wicked and want to take out the good I wish you would have had cameras inside and out but it probably wouldn’t have made a difference that’s how evil people walking around and he did it in front of a little boy that’s going to be traumatized for life I hope they capture this Shorty boy
