Eran Tryon, R.I.P.

Violence on the East Side claims another life, this time just around the corner from Angelo's Coney Island.

Khalil AlHajal of The Flint Journal reports:
Friends and family of Eran Tryon gathered for a vigil Monday at Arlington Avenue and Broadway Boulevard, where the 32-year-old was killed in a triple shooting Sunday night.

The tall, outgoing father of three was known as a skilled paint technician who worked at Lowe's in Burton.

"He was a top-notch guy," said Tryon's brother Eric Ashby. "He'll definitely be missed."

Tryon was killed in a drive-by shooting Sunday that also injured an 18-year-old woman and left an 8-year-old boy in critical condition.

Ashby said his little brother was supposed to be the best man in his wedding next week.

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
