Relatives of a 17-year-old are angry the teenager was shot and killed by a homeowner who police say was protecting her property.

The sister of the teen who died identified him as Trevon Johnson. She said he was a student at D.A. Dorsey Technical College.

“I don’t care if she have her gun license or any of that. That is way beyond the law… way beyond,” said Johnson’s cousin Nautika Harris. “He was not supposed to die like this. He had a future ahead of him. Trevon had goals… he was a funny guy, very big on education, loved learning.”

On Thursday, police say Johnson burglarized a home south of 79^th Street near I-95 — just blocks away from where he lives. …

"So in his point of view stealing from you to pay his way is OK?"

It works for the Fed Gov't....

Trevon wouldn’t have ever actually graduated. I think he, like so many others, was just there to play like he was in ‘college’ and to suck up on some stipends, tuition, and grant support as an excuse to not do jack sh!t while he sucked off the rest of us on government money.

while learning how to be a more lucrative living as a Thug.

I heard that was how Einstein paid his way through some tough times as a 17 year old. Or rolling drunks at the local hofbrauhaus

Clothes to go to school eh? So I assume he was nude at the time he was shot. No? I guess that clothes angle is a non-starter then. I am sure they will give him a nice clean hoody to wear in his coffin.

My sides are hurting from laughing.

"You have to look at it from his point of view..."

His point of view is at the ceiling in the morgue.
