An Ohio shopper shot and killed a 16-year-old outside of a mall when the teen tried to steal his newly bought, limited-edition Nike Air Jordans. Jawaad Jabbar died Tuesday from a gunshot wound to his torso, police said. Miami Township police said two groups — three teens and two men — struggled on a sidewalk outside the Dayton Mall before the shooting. All five people went to the mall on a mission to buy the $200 Nikes, which quickly sold out.
The three teens left empty-handed, but at least one of the men got a pair. In front of the mall, the youths spotted the men with the shoes and confronted them, police said. Jabbar pulled out a gun and demanded the men give them the sneakers. That’s when one of the men pulled out his own concealed weapon and shot the Middletown High School student.[NYdailynews.com]
Antonio Martin, 18, was shot and killed by a white police officer two miles west of Ferguson Tuesday.
Martin, who lived in Berkeley, was with an unidentified man in the parking lot of a Mobil gas station when the cop pulled in about 11:15 p.m. to investigate a shoplifting report. The cop got out of the car and questioned them. The officer talked to the duo briefly. Then, according to at least three surveillance videos taken from different angles and released by police, Martin moved closer to the cop and raised his arm in an apparent effort to aim his gun at the officer. Martin, armed with a loaded 9‑mm handgun, did not fire, but the officer, who has six years on the force, squeezed off three rounds while running backwards, said St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar. Martin was hit once. He died at the scene.
