A 30-year-old woman shot and killed a teenage boy in Richmond after the two - who had a child together - argued over the victim's girlfriend, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

Melinda Gaffney surrendered Monday to San Francisco police in connection with the April 8 slaying of Terrance Forks, 16, outside the Crescent Park apartment complex.

Gaffney fled in a Lexus that was later recovered, police said.

Oy. do I have ate curiosity over the senselessness. A boy cannot be a father. Geeze, and they call me a grammar cop. It’s crimes like this headline from which we, in the force, try to protect the public.

Oy. do I have to read this story to abate curiosity over the senselessness? A boy cannot be a father. Geeze, and they call me a grammar cop. It’s crimes like this headline from which we, in the force, try to protect the public.

And then there’s auto correct.

If a 30 year old man has a child with a 15 year-old girl (With the exception of being married to each other) the man goes to jail.

This woman should have been tried and found guilty of statutory rape.
