Actor Andy Garcia, uncle of Jackie Garcia, the girlfriend of murdered Washington Redskins player Sean Taylor, has a few words to share about the football star, whom he regarded as a member of the family:
“His heroic action on that tragic night saved their life and is a testament to his humanity and courage,” the Ocean’s Thirteen star said in a statement to the Miami Herald. “His spirit will live forever, in our hearts and through the legacy of his achievements and the family he leaves behind.”
“Sean was known to many as an extraordinary athlete and unquestionable teammate,” Andy Garcia, 51, added. “To those of us who had the good fortune to count him as a member of our extended family, we will always remember him as a caring and loving individual.”
As for the ongoing investigation surrounding Taylor’s shooting, Miami-Dade Police say they have no reason to think it was anything other than a run-of-the-mill burglary. Mmm hmm. Nothing to see here, folks.

It’s always sweet when they call the blacks “extended” family.
Although in all fairness I think that comes from the fact that blacks add “extensions” to their locks.
