this could have been an initiation rite for a gang.

A work partner got a call from his friend in Alabama the other night. He was all upset because while sitting in his Lexus SUV with his date in her apt. parking lot, a thug pulls his door open, puts a gun to his head and threatens to kill him. Even after offering his wallet and cash, the thug still says its his day to die. Thankfully, before the thug could do anything, the guy in the suv has time to pull his .45 out from between the seat and shoots the punk. He runs about 30 feet and drops dead! Now it turns out the little punk was only 13 years old! Of course the media has posted a nice picture of him in a jacket and white shirt. Also says he was the school quaterback etc.....Thankfully when you read the story and other related stories to it, the truth comes out and it seems to have been some kind of gang related crime. So far, no charges have been filed and he has left Alabama. But not without hiring a couple good lawyers just to be safe! Here's a couple articles about it:

“Why are there so many hold ups with these thug kids?”
Because their parent(s) suck by not being parents who provide love and boundaries, thus, leaving it wide open for the gang bangers to fill that hole with “respect” and a pseudo love.
there will be cameras around the condo area - no doubt
Jinns, poltergeists, ghosts, evil spirits, demons, disembodied space aliens, nephilim are suddenly and without warning occupying the bodies of young black males and forcing them to do evil against their will!
Yeah, that explains it....
1) Alabama has criminal conspiracy and complicity laws which seem at first glance to me to make conspirators and accomplices participants in whatever crime they are conspiring to commit. You might want to try to make sense of it HERE.
2) I am uncertain what is meant in Alabama law by "causes the death of any person." Who caused the young thug's death? Was it his intended victim, his accomplices, or both?

Notice whenever someone goes berserk and kills a bunch of people, or just kills one person, all the neighbors say “He was such a nice person. I can’t believe he’d do something like this.”
Just once I’d like to see the neighbors say “The guy was freakin’ nuts! We were all waiting for him to go off! He’s probably got dead bodies buried all over the place! It’s about time the cops arrested the crazy bastard!”

Sounds like he forgot his hoodie.
My brief research on Alabama law found no direct cases where an accomplice was murdered by a victim. The following commentary, which seems to indicate that the other defendants cannot be prosecuted, is from the Lexis notes under the Alabama Murder statute:
The primary judicial qualification of the rule has taken the form of a requirement of proximate or “natural and probable” causation. Commonwealth v. Bolish, 113 A.2d 464 (Pa. 1955) (not murder if intervening and superseding act breaks chain of events). People v. Stamp, 82 Cal. Rptr. 598 (1970) (foreseeability of death not essential).
Another aspect of felony-murder is when does it commence and terminate? Does the felony continue for purposes of the rule after its commission but during escape? How long does escape continue? The courts have treated the matter differently. See Kadish & Paulsen, Criminal Law and Its Processes 341 (2d ed. 1969). The majority follows the “continuous transaction” test. People v. Stamp, supra.
Some jurisdictions have imposed liability only when the defendant or his accomplice committed the actual act that caused the death but not to situations where the act causing death was that of another person. Commonwealth v. Redline, 137 A.2d 472 (Pa. 1958) (accomplice killed by policemen; felony-murder inapplicable). People v. Washington, 402 P.2d 130 (Cal. 1965) (accomplice killed by victim).
There is a paucity of Alabama cases on felony-murder: Kilgore v. State, 74 Ala. 1 (1884) (robbery); Hardley v. State, 202 Ala. 24, 79 So. 362 (1918) (burglary or robbery). There is some dicta for the conclusion that homicide occurring during a felony not enumerated by the statute as first degree murder would be second degree murder: Fields v. State, 52 Ala. 348 (1875); Davis v. State, 246 Ala. 101, 19 So.2d 358 (1944); Miller v. State, 145 Ala. 677, 40 So. 47 (1906) (1st degree murder for death of prison guard by dynamite blast; probably “universal malice”).
I'd check Ala. Code 13A-6-2 to see whether 'participant' is limited to others who are participants in committing the crime (which is the way it reads to this lawyer's eyes).
You may well find that the others in the car with Ja'Quares can't be charged with murder under Ala. Code Section 13A-6-2(a)(3) because the death was caused by one of the targeted victims of the attempted crime and not a participant in the attempted crime. There is no definition of 'participant' in Ala. Code Section 13A-6-1, which is the general definitions section for Article 1 (Homicides) and Article 2 (Assaults) of Title 13A: Criminal Code - Chapter 6 - Offenses Involving Danger to the Person. I haven't researched appellate decisions on Ala. Code Section 13A-6-2(a)(3).
>>>”It’s like he’s still here, and I feel him HOLDING ME UP”, she said.<<<
Yeah, I could see this. “Give me all your money NOW, Mom, or I’ll blow your head off!”
“All I can do is pray, and know God was ready to take his angel.”<<<
Sorry, Mom; God’s “angels” don’t commit armed carjackings, Satan’s servants do.
>>> “I don’t want it put out like he was a bad person or a mean person, because he wasn’t,” Latonya Walker, 38, said Tuesday <<<
Bad is as bad does. “Good” people don’t pull guns on innocent people and attempt to steal their automobiles.
I’d love it if one day one of these parents would be honest with themselves and everyone else and say something like “I tried to rasie him right, but as much as I hate to say it, my kid turned out to be a no good, rotten, violent, thug.” or even better, “If I had been a better parent, this never would have happened.”
I can’t even figure out how to pronounce it. I talk to insurance carriers on the phone all day long and need to document the name of the person with whom I spoke. Seems like most of them that are still in the U.S. now I have to include the phrase, “Spell please” after they state their name, particularly if they are located in the east. At least when talking with a call center in India or the Philippines they have the good sense to use a simple American name like Ed or Susan for reference purposes.
What do you make of this?

He was not 13, but going to be 15 in June, according to his misspelling mother.
Perps just never seem to learn, not everyone is an easy victim
