#Repost @mars.hoffa with @instatoolsapp ・・・ If you don't know Eric "Uggie" Bowens, it's likely you're not from #Newark. He is, perhaps, the city's most recognizable resident, who could walk anywhere in this town without a hassle. Once Uggie -- that's what everybody called him -- reached his destination, the people there never forgot him. He'd dance at a frenetic, nonstop pace, working up a sweat to House music. It's what he did best. He could be in the street, at a club, a high school football game or somewhere challenging his rival - DDogg (Shawn Gregory). Many times, Uggie would be by himself, with radio in hand, bopping to rhythms in his heart -- a habit that endeared him to an entire city. But that image was erased Monday night. Some heartless fool shot Uggie, ending his life at age 44. In Uggie's world, every day was his birthday, that is until a bullet robbed him of his next one. He was just 45 minutes away from turning 45 years old. -Barry Carter Happy Birthday 🎈🎈🎈 #BrickCity #senselessactsofviolence WE GOTTA DO BETTER‼️ (at Istanbul, Turkey)
