'I don't know what's happened to Los Angeles'...

'He made everybody feel good about training,' Grillo told NBC Los Angeles.following the murder of his personal trainer in Windsor Hills, LA, on Friday.

'I don't know what's happened to Los Angeles that a beautiful guy like this gets shot and killed over nothing.'




Victim..

• Azuma Bennett, 30, was shot up to eight times outside a marijuana dispensary
• Bennett's murder comes as homicides in Los Angeles are at a 15-year-high

Bennett, who is originally from Sydney, Australia, was found by police slumped in the doorway of a marijuana dispensary with gunshot wounds and declared him dead at the scene.
He worked at Fortune Boxing Gym in Los Angeles and had a number of A-listers as clients, including Grillo and UFC fighter Jason Miller.

The gym's owner, Tamara Fortune, has set up a GoFundMe so that Bennett's family can afford to travel to Los Angeles for his memorial before flying his body back to Australia...

'Azuma was one of a kind. An outstanding athlete, fighter, teacher trainer, and friend/mate to so many,' Fortune wrote.

She added: 'We lost one of the best ones out there. He did not deserve this. He was kind to all that he met and always engaged everyone in the gym with his positive energy and engaging personality.

'Rest easy Azuma and keep punching up there. We love you mate.'
