A bunch of my friends on MySpace sent out bulletins saying that this guy from my school who graduated last year got shot and killed this weekend. I know MySpace isn't the most reliable source, but then again, why would people lie about something like this?

I'm speechless and sad...I don't even know what to say. This is horrible. I didn't know the guy, but I really feel for his family and for his friends too, because I'm friends with some of his friends...To think that something like this could happen to someone near to me...This is a shock. He seemed like such a good kid.

I'll post more details when I get them.

RIP Joel Orille. You will be dearly missed. :rip: :crying:

:( tragic deaths suck, especially upon someone so young. since my friend died earlier this year i've been kind of nervous to go to school in the morning sometimes because i get the feeling that i'm going to find out someone else was killed. i can't really help it, it was unbelievably sudden, and i learned from it that you can NEVER know whether you or anyone else will live to see tomorrow.

I'm so sorry. Its always sad when somebody dies and even sadder when its someone who's so young. :(

:( Im so sorry.

Sorry to hear that. When death is sudden, it adds another layer to deal with.

Karen,I'm soooooo sorry!:(

My prayers are with you

Aww, I'm really sorry!! :(

I'm sorry, that's terrible :( I remember last year when three students died within weeks of each other in 3 seperate car/motocycle accidents.

OMG, Karen, that is extremely tragic. :( :bighug: I'm so, so sorry that this happened. :(

aww im sorry to hear that :(

I sorry to hear about that. It's so tragic that he was so young.:(

His death has been confirmed by the media. He was STABBED, not shot. Nonetheless, it's still a tragedy.

Daly City Teenager Killed In SF Street Fight

SAN FRANCISCO -- A Daly City man was fatally stabbed early Sunday in a large fight near the Ocean View Recreation Center, authorities said.

The San Francisco Medical Examiner's office has identified the dead man as Joel Orille, 18.

Orille, a Daly City resident, was apparently stabbed during a fight involving 10 to 20 people that broke out on Minerva Street at Plymouth Avenue, near the Ocean View Recreation Center around 1 a.m.

It was unclear, said police, whether he took part in the fight, or was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Orille was pronounced dead at the scene some time after he was stabbed.

An officer received minor injuries while chasing at least two suspects, according to police. That chase started as a vehicle chase but continued on foot.

Several people were taken into custody in connection with the incident, but whether and with what they will be charged is not yet known.

Sorry to hear that, Karen. :(
