New Years Eve, Avengers teammate Reza Payan was at a close friends and family gathering when he offered a ride home to a friend who was drunk. An argument ensued over whether or not the guy was able to drive and he shot Reza four times in the chest with his wife present.

Reza leaves behind a beautiful wife and daughter, and Avenger black belts Vagner Rocha, Hillary Williams (me), and a few more (to be confirmed) will be hosting a donation-only benefit seminar at Pablo's school in PEMBROOKE PINES on Saturday to help his family. Please support and spread the word.
RIP
Damn shame. My prayers go out to his family.
Jesus Christ that's horrible and senseless. Rest in peace Reza.

I understand it not being premeditated, but its not a felony charge? thats just stupid.
RIP, its terrible that these sorts of people exist
RIP
RIP Reza.
Not only is he an asshole, his kettle bell form is terrible.
shrksonfire, i think that means there was no additional felony with the murder, like armed robbery or kidnapping.
RIP
TraneUFC, it was a family/close friends gathering at their instructors house and Reza invited Ron, who didn't have new years plans. It was an act of kindness, not hanging around thugs. 
Hearing shit like this is so sad.
Prayers for his wife and family.
People are really fu&*%$ up.
Unbelievable, RIP. :_-(
