A North Las Vegas high school junior will be prosecuted as an adult in the shooting death of a woman in what police say was a dispute over $5 in a marijuana buy. [

The teen is accused of shooting 20-year-old Andrea Lafon in the head as she sat in a car in a North Las Vegas neighborhood. Lafon died the next day.
A witness told police that Lafon refused to let the teen pay $35 for $40 worth of marijuana.

I thought pot wasn’t addicting?
To: dware
Well they are having trouble with the black market in Colorado too. I guess if someone wants to buy pot they are going to the cheapest dealer. About the death, that is part of that whole drug culture.

Tobacco’s still legal, but there’s a black market there due to taxation rates in the northeast. Remember that the mantra with respect to cannabis is “legalize and tax” . . .

“teen” - isn’t that a racist term?
Not yet? It will be.

I suspect he was “college bound”, the police also suspect him, and have him handcuff bound.

I’m sure he only had $35 left on his EBT card.
BTW, how do they know she wasn’t trying to sell him $35 worth of pot for $40?
Maybe she called him the “N” word.
