I send my condolences to all of his family and friends. I did not knoe him yet I grew up in Bellwood. Times are hard there and I hope that the person or people that did this to this young man are found and have to deal with the same fate the dealt to this young man. I myself am dealing with the murder of a friend for the week before Christmas. All I can say is Corey find this young man at the gates of heaven and usher him in. Take him under you wing and protect him from any harm.

RIP COREY DALE KRUEGER
RIP EDDIE "TRE" AVANT

[Shocked]

I find it really hard to believe that some of you have the nerve to say "I know what happened. I was there". And you even claim to have loved Tre. However, none of you so called FRIENDS gave up any information so that Tre's soul could RIP knowing that his killer was caught. The boy was murdered in front of several witnesses and not one of yall cared enough about Tre to say anything.

[Travis his cousin]

Man i think about my cousin Tre everyday since the shooting. There has not been a single day out of the 7months and 10 days that have passed since he was shot, that I have not thought about him. It hurts so much just to go to my aunt Fay house and he is not there, everytime I go there I say hello to the family and then I run up to his room and look at the pictures in the room and I just fall and cry. It doesn't even seem real when I go over there, the times when he was alive my main purpose was to go over there and chill with him, play the game, talk to his people, play fight, do whatever and now its all gone. Tre is my most favorite cousin, and everyone he hung with knows that, who was close to him. I wish this wasn't real, I hate to realize that Tre is gone. Sometimes I drive right by his grave sight and just sit and stare and just wonder whoever did this is still roaming the streets and it is possible he can do it to another person. And from this experience I know for a fact that I wouldn't want any other person feeling the way I am because it is just not right, it's not right. Tre was only 16, why should a boy have to die so early, why? More so, why did my cousin, MY MOST FAVORITE COUSIN have to die. I wish I had an answer. Maybe I'll find out one day but for the people in the car, I don't have anything against yall because I know some of you and we even kicked together when I was with Tre somedays. I just pray that this doesn't continue on, Yes I would like to put an end to Tre's case but if it's gonna add to more killings especially of Tre's buddies I wouldn't wish that at. To the people in the car I love yall, I just hope that this doesn't continue on.

To my cousin Tre, You know I miss you like Hell, as you can see it hasn't been a day that I haven't at least thought of you in some sort. I wish you were here, I wish I could just see you and do the things that we used to do before this mess. I still don't believe that it is right that your gone, but I know God has you and he won't let anything like that happen again. I pray that when I go to Heaven, We find each other fast because you will be one of the first ones i will be looking for. Tre, man I love you, I feel like i can type forever about you. Hammer Head Tre, my most favorite cousin I will see you again, and believe that we're going to have a lot to catch up on Peace. R.I.P TRE LOVE U BOI. YOUR COUSIN TRAV

My heart bleeds. I'm so shocked. Another gang banger dead in Bellwood. Wow! You love the life, don't you? Does the life love you? If you want 15 minutes of fame- do something to help your community. What's the matter? MTV told you what was cool?

Dude you are heartless. Nothing ever said that this kid was in a gang, just because you live in bellwood doesnt mean you are banging. This was a 16 yo kid and that is all that matters. You my friend are a heartless bastard. I dont know Tre. I have been gone from Bellwood for almost 11 years now and do I wish the streets would get better? Yes I still have friends and family that live there and in the surrounding towns. But the fact is that Tre was a child that was murdered for no known reason. Stop being an azz about the situation.

[sad]

I am still saddened by the loss of tre. i cant believe i lost a friend..i feel bad that i lost contact with him 3 or 4 months before his death but my memories of him will always be remembered

[JoJo]

[Celeste]

That day we were all shocked. Especially my friend Dymond and my boyfriend Martrail. I had just seen him not too long along when I was over Martrails house. I think everybody was shocked and couldn't get over it for a long time and probably still can't. I remember when I first met him he told me his name was trey and I thought he was lying becuz his real name was eddie. It was funny though. But I am still wit Martrail and when he needs me im there becuz that was one good friend of his.

[Celeste]

It was for a reason and I know for a fact that is was gang related.
