Last week or so TMZ posted a gruesome video of a series of fights taking place outside an LA night club. The fights weren’t the gruesome part though. During the string of fights a man pulls out a gun to shoot another man. Now, this isn’t something we are used to seeing on TMZ at all. This isn’t celebrity news or gossip and it really makes you question what motive they had to put this on their website other than to dip into World Star Hip Hop’s niche. Well the father of the young man who was gunned down speaks out and she’s started a petition to get the video removed!

Earlier this week, my family and I were going through what no family should ever have to — my 19-year-old nephew Andre had been shot outside a nightclub in Los Angeles and shortly after, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
But even while some of us were in the E.R. frantically waiting to hear of Andre’s condition, the tabloid TMZ posted a graphic video of Andre being shot on its website and on YouTube.
TMZ usually covers celebrities, but Andre was just a student. We’ve asked the tabloid repeatedly for them to take the video down, but it has so far refused to respond. That’s why I started a petition on Change.org demanding that TMZ take the video of my nephew Andre Lowe being shot off the internet right now.

Andre had a bright future ahead of him and wasn’t afraid to work hard for what he wanted out of life. He was small in stature but had a big heart, and there are countless friends and family who will miss him greatly.
My family and I are still reeling from our loss. We shouldn’t be tortured even further by a tabloid like TMZ using an innocent young student’s murder for shock value and entertainment. Even now, it’s making money every time someone watches the video. It makes me sick.
Thank you.
