A man was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly shot and killed two teenagers in Chicago, Illinois, for asking how tall he was.
“Police said Laroy Battle, 19, opened fire on two teens in an alley in the 7900-block of South Luella Avenue around 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 20,” according to ABC 7 Chicago.
Deputy Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan said the shooting happened after the two teens and a friend had a brief encounter with Battle, whom they did not know, at a neighborhood corner store.
“The victims commented, because, since Battle is quite tall, and they asked him how tall he was and you know, hoped to be that tall someday. And unfortunately, obviously we’ll never see the full growth of these poor children,” Deenihan explained.
As the three teenagers walked home from the store, police said two of them were shot multiple times in an alleyway.
“Jasean Francis, 17, was shot in the back, chest and left hand and taken to University of Chicago Hospital, where he died,” the ABC 7 report stated.
“Charles Riley, 16, was shot in the back and left leg and was taken to University of Chicago Hospital, where he also died,” the article continued.

DeleteThey were All looting together for weeks I'm sure. No honor among thugs. It's SHITCOGO. Nobody is safe. Nobody CARES. WHY?? They don't get it both ways. Don't wave the BLM flag then end up dead and expect anyone to give a shit. Call Al Sharpton. Oh that's right. He won't waste his time on black on black murder.
ReplyDeleteWhere is BLM!! No protest. ITS all bullshit
ReplyDeleteNEVER axe someone how tall they are. This guy apparently was offended or maybe displeased that he had height. It’s normal to be offended today in this climate. You would be odd if pleasant. Look people don’t ass offensive questions if you don’t want to be shot or something. When you have humans running around freely wearing mask it’s a whole new ballgame. Better yet, shoot back!
ReplyDeleteHow do we know the weren't sizing him up for a robbery and ran when they saw he was armed?
ReplyDeleteHe's 6'3", not all that tall, not so tall that it's remarkable enough for three kids only a few years younger to ask.
ReplyDeleteIn Prison
