Family defends robbery suspect, after he's killed by off-duty officer & retired officer

BALTIMORE (WBFF) - A Baltimore man is dead after being shot by an off-duty Baltimore School Police officer and retired Department of Corrections officer.

For now, police call the shooting justified but the suspect’s family has doubts.

Devante Jones is dead. He was 22. His family gathered outside of city hall Monday evening looking for answers.

Investigators say Jones was shot when he tried robbing a group of men. That’s a stunning allegation, according to Jones‘s mother.

“Because my son changed his life, he did he did that stuff when he was younger. He changed his life. He had two jobs, he had two cars, he was doing right,“ said Natalie Gardner, the suspect’s mother.

Yeah, I remember him. He was a good boy. He went to church every week. He walked old ladies across the street. He always gave up his bus seat to pregnant women. .....................

Oh my mistake, it wasn’t him. Everyone is allowed at least one mistake. Trying to hold up an armed citizen was his last mistake. I can guarantee that he learned his lesson and will never do it again!!!

As someone said prior Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Sorry for the family but apparently this young man was a dumb ass thief / robber
But they can't play the race card on this one because I think all the victims are black

It’s all the cops fault, guess Baltimore will settle another million dollar lawsuit.

So sorry someone lost their life but how can you convict the victims. Oh that's right they didn't study the gun that was pulled on them. Really then who would be dead.

Apparently he had three jobs. He didn't disclose his night time withdrawal job.

Hogan proves that legal concealed carry for law abiding citizens will lower crime and reduce prison population.

Most cop shootings are not justified, they just try to justify it with a fake rap sheet... Oh this guy smoked weed...

Job 1 was drug dealing, job 2 was armed robberies.
