Gardena police have identified a man killed in a collision with a suspected drunken driver askhalibturner.jpg 21-year-old Khalib Zaire Turner, 21. Yesterday, we were told he had a Hawthorne address, but police today said he lived in Compton.

Turner died in the 11:50 p.m. crash Tuesday at El Segundo Boulevard and Normandie Avenue.

John Henry Guerrero, 24, of Torrance was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and vehicular manslaughter, police said.

I did a Web search on Turner and found his name listed as a student in an El Camino College English class and found his MySpace page, which was private. This photo accompanied it.

K, Here it has been almost 2 years and I still can't believe my hommie is gone. Man how I miss you. I sit and think someday you'll call me and say this was all a hoax. My heart is still hurting knowing I can't see my best friend or even see you again. I still can't believe this has happen to a person who never hurt a fly and was the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I still have all your numbers stored in my cellphone and can't delete them cuz I still think your around. Man death is so painful. I sit in and look out the window waiting for you to pull up to my house and say let's smokes. I would do anything just to have you back here. Man, my heart is still hurting. A friend, best friend, brother, my god brother whom my family claimed as their family, too is gone. But one thing I will never never never forget you. You will always be in my heart. I promised my self my first child will be named after you and I hope he grows up to be a cool as you were. I know we had our up n down but rite now I would do anything just to have you back in my life. Man I LOVE you. You said we would be friends forever, and I find myself mad at you for leaving me. But Imma alway remember you each and everyday, that why I would never earse your number from my phone, ppl may say i'm crazy, but i dont care you were the best friend/brother anyone can ask for. I miss you man. Rest-In-Peace and I'll see you when I get there.
