I don't know who the shooters were however I do know people that have been arrested in conjunction to this horrible crime. I did not know Cornell but I don't believe he deserved to this at all.

[sad]

My prayers go out to Cornell's family! May god be with you !

[pissed]

All three shooters were caught and are in custody. You can find their info at dallascounty.org names Steven Williams, Brandon Foreman, and Dionte Mathews. This is very tragic I will not go into detail about what happened but they will get what they deserve.

RIP Cornell
We love you man!!!

[RIP CORNELL]

What is this world coming to? All of these guys knew each other and if I'm not mistaken even friends. SO sad someones life was taken over stupidity. Justice will prevail and all 3 will get what they deserve. My heart hurts for the family and children of Cornell. A girlfriend of one of the guys arrested is very much in denial about all of this and is trying to get him bailed out. I hope like hell all 3 are denied bonds and remain in jail until sentencing.

[necha]

so glad to hear they have been caught. hope they get what they deserve..they deserve no bail, just jail...he was such a good man, funny, out going and he was a father. he didnt deserve this at all. RIP CORNELL U WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.

[Surprised]

I did not know Cornell but I have known one of the suspects for a while and would have never expected this. I wish I knew the situation ...I only have heard parts of it. But cornell seemed like a pretty great guy from what I have heard of..I have a few mutual friends of his....God bless his family and I am very sorry this happened

[cornell mother]

thanks you for all support and prayers it's so beyond belief that my baby is gone! His babies will never know how much he loved them he'll never get to teach them about his sports "basketball" he loved so much. He didn't get the chance to teach me frisbee golf and I so wanted to learn!! I being his mother miss him every day and every minute!!! I know he cannot be harmed in heaven!! I would give anything to have my baby back!!! I miss him so much!! Harriet

[old teammate DParker]

Cornell and I go way back to Wilkinson. We played b-ball and football with and against each other. I also was teammates with Steven Williams! While growing up with Cornell he was the last in my thoughts to get murdered!! It seems like yesterday when 8th grade was beating on 7th grade and Cornell was the only 7th grader who didn't want to quit. I loved that about Cornell his heart was tremendous I forever miss him until I can join him in heaven if I'm lucky enough to make it! To his parents I would like to apologize for the lost I know hurts but we'll all get through this as long as we pray. It took me awhile to respond because I'm in college in Florida. SO GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOURS HEADS UP BECAUSE CORNELL IS KNOW IN A BETTER PLACE

[rip cornell]

TO ANYONE INTERESTED BRANDON FOREMAN HAS AN EXAMINATION TRIAL SCHEDULED FOR 9/17/08 AT 8:30 AM, THIS IS WHERE ANY EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM IS BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE DA. HE IS TRYING TO BOND OUT. HE AND THE OTHER 2 SHOULD NOT BE RELEASED, CORNELL'S LIFE WAS TAKEN AND THEIRS SHOULD BE LEFT THERE TO SUFFER.

[Matt Miller]
