Sending heartfelt condolences to Ice-T and all the friends and Family of my client and friend Taheim Bryan. Particularily his wife and little daughter in New York. I had managed Taheim for the past few years and worked with him on the promotion for his Film Equal Standard, he was a good talented man and it is unbelievable and ironic that he was shot down like this. He will be sorely missed.
