"It's like he's still here, and I feel him holding me up," she said."

I'm sure the couple in the car felt him holding them up too ... albeit briefly.

Skin tone of shooter not described. I hope this does not turn into another Trayvon Martin case.

With a name like Ja'Quares, the kid was marked for thugdom from the start.

And the mom -- yelling from the house does not constitute watching your children and knowing where they are going and with whom. If you don't know the people that just rolled up to take your *13* year old kid somewhere, get your ass out to the curb and find out. Sheesh.

Ja’Quares? How do people come up with names like this?

With a name like Ja'Quares, the kid was marked for thugdom from the start.

All he needed was a hoodie.
I'll never understand why parents give their kids names that make any potential future employer (other than the stinking government, of course) roll their eyes.

[ßuddaßudd]

Kilt him real good did he??

[Paradox]

This is absolutely a tragedy. Yes, a thug in the making, but only 13?

You know what I am, is a CULTURALIST. This urban/thug culture is destroying our youth. And note, its not just a "black" thing, its infected all of our youth. There are wiggas, spiggas, and even jiggas. Its sad, I feel awful for the mother.

this could have been an initiation rite for a gang.

"This is not him, not who he was. Anybody that knew Ja'Quares knows that."

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....

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!”

>>>”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.”

“Ja’Quares”

F**ked up name.

[commish]

"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. "This is not him, not who he was. Anybody that knew Ja'Quares knows that."

Denial ain't just the name of a river in Egypt baby!

[wbill]

Ja'Quares approached a black Lexus SUV with a couple inside and ordered the driver out. The driver pulled a gun and shot Ja'Quares multiple times

Sounds like civic improvement to me.

Here are a few more articles that add details:

"As she tries to deal with her son's death, Walker says she is left searching for answers. "So I don't know if they put my child up to do this. Did they threaten or scare him to do something like this?" she asked.

Walker says that even with a bandana on, it should have been obvious that Jaqures was just a child.

"I'm going to keep asking and I want to know what happened, the truth, however long it takes. I'm not giving up till I find out the truth," Walker said. [where have we that before...]

Disturbing photos surface of 13-year-old robbery suspect LINK
"Police says Jaqures Walker had just approached a car and told the male driver to "give it up," when the man pulled a gun, shot and killed Walker. ....Also, one witness told police that two men wearing blue bandanas were watching the robbery and shooting go down. That's another suggestion it could be gang related.

So is there a gang problem in Birmingham? Officer Jamarah Nevitt says there is a gang issue in the city, but a gang problem, he says, is questionable"

"Even if he did this, someone had to put him up to it. Why else would 16- and 17-year-olds want to hang out with a 13-year-old boy?" she said. "It's not the way he was raised."

Common practice for gang bangers. Get the 13 year old to do the "work" so his juvenile record will be sealed. The older ones risk being tried as adults.

>”I don’t want it put out like he was a bad person or a mean person, because he wasn’t,”<
Of course he wasn’t. Good kids go around with loaded guns trying to rob people all the time. Come on people! It’s 2012! Get wit da program!

Absurd, his name didn’t make him into a thug. His lack of good, disciplinary parental guidance did.

[SaraJohnson]

That poor woman. How sad to have your son derail like this and end up dead. She is right that the older members of her son’s gang planned out the car jacking crime and waited in the wings. They do this because the criminal justice system goes easy on young teens like her son. It could have been a gang initation thing.

I fully understand the man killing the one with the gun pointed at him. At the same time, when you have to kill someone, even justifiably, it is no picnic. The Black gang racist culture has to stop.
