Couldn't Happen

So, I found out today (Monday) that a guy that I used to wait tables with was murdered.
About a year and a half ago I worked at Beef O' Brady's in Suwanee. I was working up there with a girlfriend of mine, Ashley, when I met this guy named Eddie. I had met a lot of other people up there, but Eddie really stuck out. His humor, his loud comments and his jokes are what really made him the center of attention. He was into theater, he loved to act, love to just randomly say lines from different plays. You could really tell when he just started acting out different scenes from Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet in the middle of the restaurant. It was always a great way to end a busy night. Though I never did get a chance to see any of his plays, which now I wish I had even more, I heard they were all spectacular.
Eddie was also a fairly religious person, though he never really pressed it upon anyone. I actually didn't realize how serious into religion he was until Ashley told me today. Apparently he was on some type of mission in South Africa when someone stormed his tent in attempt to steal his lap top and money, but in the act shot and killed Eddie. I cannot believe it . . .

I don't understand it. It's all cold to me. It's not right and I don't understand why someone like him had to leave this world so early...
"I don't understand any of this, I only know it's ugly. You're all ugly and he was beautiful, he tried to put something fine into your ugly world and you killed him for it." Josephine- from the movie Tombstone, staring Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Bill Paxton and Sam Elliot.

It just doesn't make sense to me. Not at all.
