CINCINNATI — Police were studying mall surveillance video Tuesday in their investigation of the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old Ohio boy authorities say tried to rob a shopper in his quest to obtain popular, limited-edition athletic shoes.

Miami Township police said a man with a concealed weapon permit fired his gun after he and another man were accosted Saturday morning by three teens on a sidewalk outside the Dayton Mall. Police said one teen had showed a gun.

Jawaad Jabbar of Middletown died a short time later of a gunshot wound to his torso, authorities said.

Al Sharpton, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

That's racist.

[South40]

He was probably his daddy’s little Jawaad, until he tried robbing the wrong person.

“The man should not have took the law into his hands. They was just a pair of shoes that was not worth a life. The man should have just give up the shoes. He should go to jail!” —Grandma Jawab

Yes, I suppose it is.

[Ditter]

How did these shoes get to be so desired? I would,nt know what a pair of Air Jordans looked like.

The best part of his fathers Jawaad ran down his mamma’s leg.

This is why I wear Blundstones.

He wanted shoes, he was such a good boy. The man was so greedy by not giving the boy some shoes.

A 16 yr old using a firearm to defend his familys home is a threat to national security. This boy using a gun to get some shoes is a victim.

Little Jawaad aspired to be like his hero, Tupac Shakur. He achieved his goal.

[yarddog]

Poor kid, just wanted some shoes to put on his bare feet.

Murdered by some killer just looking for a victim to shoot.

Zips would have been much cheaper.
