Teen, mom held without bail in killing of mechanic over bill

A St. Louis teen allegedly killed a mechanic who fixed his mom’s BMW — when the worker asked to be paid for the repairs, police said.

Isaiah Gholson, 17, is facing charges that include first-degree murder in the June 9 killing of 52-year-old mechanic Kerry Charley, who police say was shot after refusing to let Gholson and his mother, Ranada Anthony, take the luxury car home without paying for it, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, citing court documents filed Tuesday.

Charley’s sister told the newspaper that the father of three was shot five times in the chest after repairing the car at his home, where police said they were able to match the mechanic’s records to find that the vehicle was registered to Anthony.

“He was a very, very generous person,” said Charley’s sister, who identified herself only as Cindy. “He was always willing to help someone in need when it came to their vehicles. He loved working on cars, it was like a passion for him.”

Yeah that young and has a neck tattoo? Real winner there mom. Got that money for a BMW but no money to fix it. I guess they expected it for free. Why isnt it labeled black teen shoots white mechanic? Why do they always down play the race card when its blacks killing whites? Im sick of the double standard when it's the other way around. Report shouldbe black teen shoots white mechanic over bill his mom knew she couldnt pay. Report whats actually going on, a hate crime!
