A 16-year-old Middletown, Ohio student was shot and killed outside the Dayton Mall while trying to rob a concealed-carry permit holder of his newly purchased athletic shoes, Miami Twp. police Monday.
That permit holder shot the teen, who officers said was also armed with a gun, once.
“All the subjects involved in this were there for an athletic shoe release,” Miami Twp. Police Sgt. Jay Phares said Monday. “The juvenile wasn’t able to get in line in time to get these shoes that were being sold and decided to try to take them from somebody who did get some shoes, with force with a firearm.”
The teen, identified as Jawaad A. Jabbar of Middletown, was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Phares would not release the name of the shooter, who has been questioned but not arrested or charged.
“We’re looking at everybody and everything,” Phares said when asked about criminal charges.
The shooter and another adult male came out of the mall and were approached by three male juveniles, including Jabbar.
“When he was threatened with the firearm, he drew his firearm and discharged it into the juvenile,” Phares said. “What’s tragic is that somebody lost their life over tennis shoes.”
The remaining juveniles fled the scene after the shooting; one was caught on the south lot of the mall and the other was arrested in Middletown, according to Phares.

You say juveniles, I say thugs. Good shooting.
N what's tragic about this is it doesn't happen often enough to stop the out of control criminals in our area!
A perfect reason for concealed or open carry which will immediately change the current thuggery culture perpetuated by the all liberal communist.
Wouldn't you believe it? I saw on some other post that someone said "what a shame the guy shouldn't have killed him over a pair of shoes!" They apparently did not read the whole article or they're buying into the stupid liberal b.s.! Or barry, al, and holder, have shown them the way on how to stay the course.
Good shoot.
When everything is given to people who don't work or contribute to society, they assume they can get anything they want for free. Very predictable.
The pathetic part of this is that the 16 year old's goal in life was to have a pair of sneakers.
It seems that the black community is terribly deficient when it comes to teaching their children to obey the law. This thug was dealt a terrible, but justifiable, life lesson.
